The English Civil War: Conservatism and revolution, 1603-1649

Revolutions in the Modern World

by Robert Ashton

In this major new study of the Civil War Robert Ashton seeks to explain how decidedly unrevolutionary people came to fight against the King, and then to dethrone him and establish a republic. Professor Ashton has produced not just a history of the Civil War, but a fascinating history of England in the first half of the Seventeenth century.
