The Century of Revolution by Christopher Hill

The Century of Revolution by Christopher Hill

There is an immense range of books about the English Civil War, but one historian stands head and shoulders above all others for the quality of his work on the subject. In 1961 Christopher Hill first published what has come to be acknowledged as the best concise history of the period, Century of Revolution. Stimulating, vivid and provocative, his graphic depiction of the turbulent era examines ordinary English men and women as well as kings and queens.

'This is a book we have all been waiting for - a history of the political and religious conflicts of the seventeenth century that is rooted in reality; and it will be a long, long time before this brilliantly lucid and forcefully argued book is bettered' - Spectator

'Lucid and economical ... his immense range of reading sits lightly upon him, revealed only in the frequent, telling quotation on every aspect of seventeenth century life ... ingenious and provocative.' - Times Literary Supplement

'This is a book we have all been waiting for ... it will be a long, long time before this brilliantly lucid and forcefully argued book is bettered.' - The Spectator
