The Nature of the English Revolution

John Morrill has been at the forefront of modern attempts to explain the origins, nature and consequences of the English Revolution.

These twenty essays -- seven either specially written or reproduced from generally inaccessible sources -- illustrate the main scholarly debates to which he has so richly contributed: the tension between national and provincial politics; the idea of the English Revolution as "the last of the European Wars of Religion''; its British dimension; and its political sociology.

Taken together, they offer a remarkably coherent account of the period as a whole.
