Synopsis
In Some Intellectual Consequences of the English Revolution, Christopher Hill takes up themes that have emerged from a lifetime’s investigation into the causes of the English Revolution. However, Hill does more than analyze the origins of the Revolution. He examines the ways the seeds of change sown during the revolution, grew into transformative politics in the period following the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
Hill argues that the intellectual heritage of the English Revolution was mixed. While he acknowledges its achievements, he also depicts some of its failings. Consequently, he challenges the view that radical notions faded with the Restoration, suggesting instead, that they continued in pervasive and subtle ways throughout the course of English and American history. The apparent similarity between the England of 1640 and that of 1660 is shown to be illusory. Each period’s institutions survived but the social context had changed. In this way, Hill demonstrates how intellectual consequences cannot be separated from the social and economic factors of the nation that produced them. He concludes that historians should turn their attention to the “unofficial” radical heritage that is less easy to comprehend, though no less important.
This is a highly readable and provocative account by one of the world’s foremost historians.

Review
“[Hill’s] subject is the Revolution of 1640–1660 and its effects, but he ranges more generally from the transformations in English society to the latter decades of the seventeenth century as well. . . . [This] is a brief survey of a large subject, but it distills a lifetime of scholarship.”—Robert Zaller, History

First published in 1980, this work delves into the aftermath of the English Revolution, examining how the upheaval of the 1640s and 1650s reshaped the intellectual landscape of England.## ### The Context of the English Revolution: The English Revolution, also known as the English Civil War, was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians and Royalists. It culminated in the trial and execution of King Charles I, the establishment of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell, and eventually, the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660. This period marked by intense political, social, and religious upheaval, which Hill argues had lasting intellectual consequences.## ### Intellectual Shifts and Radical Ideas: Hill's analysis highlights how the revolution fostered an environment where radical ideas could flourish?the breakdown of traditional authority allowed for the questioning of long-held beliefs and the emergence of new ideologies. Hill discusses how the revolution gave rise to various radical groups, such as the Levellers, Diggers, and Quakers, who challenged the status quo and advocated for more egalitarian and democratic principles.## ### The Role of Religion: Religion played a central role in the intellectual transformations of the period. Hill examines how Puritanism and other religious movements influenced political thought and social change. The revolution's religious fervour led to a questioning of established church doctrines and the rise of sectarianism, which in turn contributed to broader intellectual debates about authority, governance, and individual rights.## ### The Restoration and Its Aftermath: While the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 might seem like a return to the old order, Hill argues that the intellectual landscape had been irrevocably altered. The ideas and debates that emerged during the revolution continued to influence English thought long after the political turmoil had subsided. Hill suggests that the intellectual legacy of the revolution can be seen in the development of Enlightenment thought and the eventual rise of modern democratic principles.## ### Conclusion: Christopher Hill's "Some Intellectual Consequences of the English Revolution" is a compelling examination of how a period of intense political and social upheaval can lead to profound intellectual transformations. By exploring the radical ideas and movements that emerged during and after the English Revolution, Hill provides valuable insights into how historical events shaped the philosophical currents of their time.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
