The Rump Parliament was brought to power in 1648 by Pride's Purge
and forcibly dissolved by Oliver Cromwell in 1653. This book is a
detailed account of the intervening years. Dr Worden concentrates
particularly on the Rump's policies in the contentious fields of
legal, religious and electoral reform; its attempts to live down
its revolutionary origins, to disown its more radical supporters,
to conciliate those Puritans alienated by the purge and the King's
death, and to re-create the Roundhead party of the 1640s. He
examines the Rump's struggles for survival in the face of the
Royalist threat between 1649 and 1651, and its fatal quarrel with
the Cromwellian army thereafter. A concluding chapter deals with
the Rump's forcible dissolution. This novel and challenging
interpretation of the most dramatic phase of the English Revolution
will interest all specialists in seventeenth-century political and
constitutional history.
