This collection of essays examines the struggles of the people of England with the collapse of civilisation as they knew it. As the country fell into civil war and near anarchy, the people sought out in word and action how to preserve what could still be preserved or to create new political, religious and social certainties. The authors discuss individuals or groups who were soldiers, writers or statesmen of the Civil Wars or the Interregnum, people who were at the centre of power or in more humble and localised circumstances. All of the authors take their inspiration from the work of Austin Woolrych, whose own books and articles focus on these very questions. The volume is published in his honour, and presents the most up-to-date thinking of both leading scholars and keen younger voices on many of the central issues dominating the study of the 'English Revolution'.
