In this concise and accessible biography, Martyn Bennett
examines the life of Oliver Cromwell one of the most controversial
figures in world history. This study challenges long-held
perceptions of Cromwell and the Commonwealth, arguing that they
need to be placed at the core of early Modern British and Irish
history.
Charting his early career, the origins of his political and
religious thought, and the development of his notions of governance
that influenced him as Lord Protector, Martyn Bennett contests the
post-Restoration vilification of Cromwell to examine how his
influence has shaped notions of citizenship, identity and
governance and informed the relationship between religion and the
state in Britain.
This radical interpretation will give students a clearer view of
the motivations and achievements of a fascinating and pivotal
figure in British history.
