| Description: | Select Guide Rating This text deals not only with the military campaigns of the English Civil War, but also with the way war affected the people and institutions of mid-17th-century England. In addition, the book looks beyond England's borders and situates the war in its British context. The English Civil War (1642-53) is one of the most crucial periods in British history. Martyn Bennett introduces the reader to the main debates surrounding the Civil War which continue to be debated by historians. He considers the repercussions both on government and religion, of Parliament''s failure to secure stability after the Royalist defeat in 1646, and argues that this opened the way for far more radical reforms. The book deals with the military campaigns in all four nations, placing the war in its full British and Irish context. |
