An acclaimed social history of the English Civil War, The English Civil War: A People's History by historian Diane Purkiss examines the conflict through the lives and experiences of ordinary men and women as well as its famous political and military figures. Rather than focusing solely on battles and commanders, Purkiss explores the impact of the war on families, communities and daily life across seventeenth-century Britain.
Richly illustrated with contemporary engravings, portraits, maps and manuscript reproductions, this substantial volume combines accessible narrative with the latest historical scholarship. An excellent reference work for readers interested in the English Civil War, Stuart Britain and seventeenth-century social history.
