In the autumn of 1647, soldiers and officers of Oliver Cromwell's
New Model Army held discussions near London on the constitution and
future of England. Would there be a king and lords, or not? Would
suffrage be limited to property holders? Would democratic changes
lead to anarchy? Three generations of scholars examine the debates
in their multiple contexts: the debates themselves, the nature and
history of the text that has come down to us, the army's immediate
concerns, the role of Leveller and other democratic ideas, the
wider ramifications for politics and gender, and the place of the
debates and the Levellers in later historical consciousness. The
debates receive here their most sustained and varied scrutiny,
resulting in a much richer appreciation of the very words reported
to have been spoken by Oliver Cromwell, Henry Ireton, Thomas
Rainborough, and the others, during those three tense and
exhilarating days.
