Oliver Cromwell has been both applauded and reviled and his memory
invoked in periods and in countries other than his own. This
complex historiography has left us today with many different
versions of Cromwell as man, general and statesman of which the
conflicting images are the subject of this book. Available in
paperback for the first time, this classic study is based on the
unfinished magnum opus of the leading scholar of
seventeenth-century history, Roger Howell (1936?89). It includes
chapters by a team of leading international experts on a broad
range of subjects originally planned by Howell himself. It includes
Howell's studies of the reactions to Cromwell in the Restoration
period and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Added to
these are reprints of his essays on psychohistorical approaches to
Cromwell and on Cromwell's contribution to English liberty. Further
historiographical portraits of the Protector are offered in
chapters which consider Cromwell and the Glorious Revolution;
Carlyle's Cromwell; Irish images of the Protector; American
interpretations; and the comparisons made between Cromwell and the
twentieth-century dictators. -- .
