About this title

Synopsis

Explore a pivotal moment in 17th-century British history with "The Digger Movement in the Days of the Commonwealth." This meticulously prepared edition sheds light on the radical social reform movement known as the Diggers, and its visionary leader, Gerrard Winstanley.

Through Winstanley's writings, author Lewis H. Berens examines the Diggers' revolutionary ideas about land use and their quest for a more just society during the tumultuous Commonwealth period. Delve into their communal experiments and their challenge to the existing social order.

This book offers insights into the Diggers' unique blend of mysticism, rationalism, and early communist thought. A vital resource for anyone interested in social history, political theory, and the enduring struggle for land reform, "The Digger Movement" provides a window into a fascinating chapter of British history.
