Description
"The scars of England's Civil Wars have never healed. In Roundhead Reputations Blair Worden shows how, over 350 years, the memory of the conflict has been a battlefield of its own." "In every age, writers and readers have seen their own reflections in the conflict and have used images of Puritan rule to sanction programmes for the present. The 'Cavalier' allegiance has been inherited by successive generations of Tories and Anglicans, the 'Roundhead' one by their opponents. Contending against each other, the two traditions have also divided within themselves." "Roundhead Reputations tells the Parliamentarian side of the story. It explains how radical Whigs in the late seventeenth and the eighteenth century, combative Liberals and Nonconformists in the nineteenth, and Marxists in the twentieth struggled against more establishment-minded Roundhead sympathizers for interpretative supremacy."--BOOK JACKET.
