Synopsis
This firmly established essential guide to the literature in the field appears here in a much revised third edition. New chapters are included on twentieth-century historians’ treatments of social complexities, politics, political culture and revisionism, and on the Revolution’s unstoppable reverberations. All the other chapters have been amended and recast to take account of recent publications. The book provides a searching re-examination of why the English Revolution remains such a provocatively controversial subject and analyzes the different ways in which historians over the last three centuries have tried to explain its causes, course and consequences. Clarendon, Hume, Macaulay, Gardiner, Tawney, Hill, and the present-day revisionists are given extended treatment, while discussion of the work of numerous other historians is integrated into a coherent, informative and immensely readable survey.

Review
“Dr. Richardson succeeds admirably in his attempt both to explain why the English Revolution remains so controversial a subject and to examine how and why historians have approached the subject over the past centuries.” —Times Educational Supplement
“... an essential 'vademecum' for aficonadoes of the civil wars and interregnum, a motley crew, to be sure, but one united in fascination for those hurling times.” —Literature and History
