Ehud's Dagger by James Holstun
Holstun details seventeenth century' England's first Capitalist revolution, and it's first anti-Capitalist revolution, in a stirring project of Marxist history from below.
Vivid and substantial accounts of the lives, works and allegiances of radicals, supported by a vigorous and comprehensive assessment of historical and critical methodsThis challenge cannot be ignored. -- Alan Sinfield
James Holstun has written an original and stimulating book on class struggle in the English Revolution. With logic and wit he demolishes the fashionable revisionist interpretations, and combines theory with empirical studies to illuminate popular literature and radical activity. -- Brian Manning
This remarkable book offers both a passionate engagement with the concrete processes of political struggle in the English Revolution and a powerful critique of current theoretical models in historiography and literary theory. Intellectually alive from start to finish, Holstun's book captures the polemical energy of the early modern radicals he discusses. -- David Norbrook
