In this compelling history of the violent struggle between the monarchy and Parliament that tore apart seventeenth-century England, a rising star among British historians sheds new light on the people who fought and died through those tumultuous years. Drawing on exciting new sources, including letters, memoirs, ballads, plays, illustrations, and even cookbooks, Diane Purkiss creates a rich and nuanced portrait of this turbulent era. The English Civil War's dramatic consequences--rejecting the divine right monarchy in favor of parliamentary rule--continue to influence our lives, and in this colorful narrative, Purkiss vividly brings to life the history that changed the course of Western government.
