Intellectual Origins of the English Revolution--Revisited

This is a revised edition of Christopher Hill's classic and ground-breaking examination of the motivations behind the English Revolution and Civil War, first published in 1965. In addition to the text of the original, Dr. Hill provides thirteen new chapters which take account of other publications since the first edition, bringing his work up to date in a stimulating and enjoyable way. The book poses the problem of how, after centuries of rule by king, lords, and bishops, English men and women found the courage to revolt against Charles I, abolish bishops, and execute the king in the name of his people. The far-reaching effects and the novelty of what was achieved should not be underestimated: the first legalized regicide, rather than an assassination; the formal establishment of some degree of religious toleration; Parliament taking effective control of finance and foreign policy on behalf of gentry and merchants, thus guaranteeing the finance necessary to make England the world's leading naval power; abolition of the Church's prerogative courts (confirming gentry control at a local level); and the abolition of feudal tenures, which made possible first the agricultural and then the agricultural revolution. - Back cover Title Pages Christopher Hill Title Pages (p.i) Intellectual Origins of the English Revolution Revisited (p.ii) (p.iii) Intellectual Origins of the English
