A foundation stone of the revisionist school of 17th-century historians, this study of the role and reactions of the people of England in the coming of the Civil War caused a major stir in 1976. Recently unobtainable, it now returns in a striking new version. revised in the light of the research it stimulated. As well as updating an influential classic, this Second Edition now offers a powerful insight into the very process of ''history making'' itself.
This text caused a major stir when it was first published in 1976. Redirecting scholarly attention to the county communties, it reassessed their role in the events of the 1630s and 1640s, claiming they were far more independent of London and the national leadership than usually supposed, and that provincial opinion was itself a powerful actor in the countdown to civil war. Much work has since appeared to confirm or modify these findings. In this reset second edition the original survives largely untouched; but now includes entirely new histiorographic commentary on the text and supporting documents.
