Description
The Levellers Radical Political Thought in the English Revolution by Rachel Foxley This book offers a fresh analysis of the originality and character of Leveller thought, challenging prevailing ideas about their role in post-civil war England. Rachel Foxley's study takes full account of recent scholarship to shed new light on the Levellers' subtle and unexpected combination of different strands within parliamentarianism. The result is a nuanced understanding of the Leveller movement and its significance in the development of radical and republican politics during the civil war period. By examining the nature of tolerationist thought, the book contributes to ongoing historical debates about the Levellers' influence on the New Model Army and their lasting impact on English politics.
