`A major contribution to our understanding of the English
Revolution.' Ann Hughes, Professor of Early Modern History, Keele
University. John Goodwin [1594-1665] was one of the most prolific
and controversial writers of the English Revolution; his career
illustrates some of the most important intellectual developments of
the seventeenth century. Educated at Queens'College, Cambridge, he
became vicar of a flagship Puritan parish in the City of London.
During the 1640s, he wrote in defence of the civil war, the army
revolt, Pride's Purge, and the regicide, only to turn against
Cromwell in 1657. Finally, repudiating religious uniformity, he
became one of England's leading tolerationists. This richly
contextualised study, the first modern intellectual biography of
Goodwin, explores the whole range of writings producedby him and
his critics. Amongst much else, it shows that far from being a
maverick individualist, Goodwin enjoyed a wide readership, pastored
one of London's largest Independent congregations and was well
connected to various networks. Hated and admired by Anglicans,
Presbyterians and Levellers, he provides us with a new perspective
on contemporaries like Richard Baxter and John Milton. It will be
of special interest to students of Puritanism, the
EnglishRevolution, and early modern intellectual history. JOHN
COFFEY is Professor of Early Modern History at the University of
Leicester.
