This reader brings together eight of the most influential recent
articles on Oliver Cromwell and the Interregnum. It focuses on the
years from Charles I's execution in 1649 to Cromwell's own death in
1658.
The articles explore key themes, such as Cromwell's complex
personality, beliefs and motives; the nature of his role and
influence during the Interregnum; his relationships with
Parliaments, the Army and the Council; and the impact of the
Commonwealth and Protectorate on British politics and society. They
represent the diversity of approaches and perspectives that
historians have brought to these issues, but all of them explore
why Cromwell never achieved enduring political stability. The book
is British in scope, including treatments of Ireland and Scotland
as well as England.
The volume opens with an editorial introduction to recent
controversies in the field, and each essay is prefaced with a
headnote setting it within its historiographical context.
