An important scholarly study of the famous Putney Debates of 1647, examining the political and constitutional discussions that emerged within the New Model Army during the English Civil War. Edited by Michael Mendle, this volume brings together leading historians to explore the debates surrounding sovereignty, political representation, religious liberty and the role of the army in shaping the English state.
The book analyses both the surviving manuscripts and the wider historical context of the Leveller movement and the English Revolution. Combining political, military and intellectual history, it is a major contribution to seventeenth-century studies and an essential reference work for historians of the English Civil War and early modern Britain.
