Description
John Lilburne Gentleman, Leveller, Quaker by Simon Webb This biography offers an accessible introduction to John Lilburne, a leader of the Leveller movement in 17th-century England. Born in Sunderland and raised near Bishop Auckland, Lilburne's fearless support for ordinary people made him a thorn in the side of both royalist and republican governments. Lilburne's northern roots had a significant influence on his career as a political agitator, while his later adoption of Quakerism is also explored. Simon Webb brings a unique perspective to this fascinating figure, drawing on his own connection to Durham Quakerism. With 118 pages of in-depth analysis, this book provides a compelling portrait of John Lilburne's life and legacy.
