History of the Great Civil War, 1642-1649: 1642-1644

The seminal work on "The Great Rebellion"--and the unsurpassed authority for historians and students--is back in print! First published in 1886, its elegant and lucid writing make it more accessible than almost any modern study. This first volume, which traces the beginning of the conflict, establishes the basic narrative of "the Puritan Revolution" with objectivity, meticulous attention to detail, and prodigious learning. With a new introduction by Christopher Hill.
