This is a study of the city of Exeter during the Great Civil War of
1642-46; it offers a lively, immediate account of how one English
city slid, inexorably, into the chaos of civil war. The book shows
how Exeter's inhabitants first began to dissent from each other
over religious issues, then became divided into two warring camps,
and finally, after three years of bitter conflict, witnessed much
of the ancient city being destroyed about their ears. The main text
is accompanied by a generous collection of transcripts from
original seventeenth-century documents. These have been specially
selected to illuminate the war's effect on ordinary men and women,
and to show how closely engaged they were with the national
politico-religious debate. This book will be of interest to all
serious students of the English Civil War, while at the same time
being accessible to a non-specialist audience.
