Sir Thomas Fairfax, not Oliver Cromwell, was creator and commander
of Parliament's New Model Army from 1645 to1650. Although Fairfax
emerged as England's most successful commander of the 1640s, this
book challenges the orthodoxy that he was purely a military figure,
showing how he was not apolitical or disinterested in politics. The
book combines narrative and thematic approaches to explore the
wider issues of popular allegiance, puritan religion, concepts of
honour, image, reputation, memory, gender, literature, and
Fairfax's relationship with Cromwell. 'Black Tom' delivers a
groundbreaking examination of the transformative experience of the
English revolution from the viewpoint of one of its leading, yet
most neglected, participants. It is the first modern academic study
of Fairfax, making it essential reading for university students as
well as historians of the seventeenth century. Its accessible style
will appeal to a wider audience of those interested in the civil
wars and interregnum more generally. -- .
