With the decline of the Whig interpretation of history, historians
in the past few decades have re-examined the origins and the nature
of the English Revolution from various perspectives. The
constitutional conflict 1 between the crown and parliament has been
analyzed. The Puritan mind 2 has been explored. Social change in
England during the century prior 3 to the outbreak of the Civil War
has been anatomized. The composition 4 of the Long Parliament has
been dissected. Every student of the English Revolution is now well
aware that the crisis in seventeenth-century Eng land, like all
other major events in history, was a complex phenomenon in which
men as well as ideas, religious convictions as well as economic
interests all came into play. For all students of this period, the
works of Samuel R. Gardiner, am plified by Sir Charles H. Firth,
remain the chief source of knowledge and 1 It should be noted that
while former historians from Hallam and Macaulay to G. M. Trevelyan
and J R. Tanner all interpreted the English Revolution in terms of
the constitution, recent historical scholarship in this respect is
more concerned with the evolution and functioning of the
constitution rather than the constitutional rights and wrongs of
either party in the conflict. See Wallace Notestein, The Winning of
the Initiative by the House of Commons (London, 1924); Margaret A."
