The English Civil War (häftad, eng)

Focusing on the martial core of the English Civil War, this account offers a detailed overview of the decade-long conflict: from the social, religious, and political divisions that influenced the nation’s militarization, to the experiences of combatants and civilians, and the War’s relationship with urban and rural environments.

Peter Gaunt uses rich contemporary accounts to examine experiences of the War from all anglesWhether detailing early clashes between the two armies, analysing the events of major conflicts such as Edgehill and Cheriton, or examining Parliamentary efforts to establish peace, this book highlights the pervasive impact of the English Civil War upon the nation. With exploration of fresh debates concerning the memory and memorialisation of the War, Peter Gaunt demonstrates how the conflict’s aftershocks lasted far beyond the 1640s

religious developments during this period.
