Reviews

Patrick Little and his talented team have presented with a portrait of Cromwell as an even more remarkable, and powerful, individual, presiding over a government that was even less successful in accomplishing its own aims, than has formerly been supposed.
*CROMWELLIANA,*

If you are looking for a set of probing, well-judged and refreshing essays on the Protectorate, here it is.
*PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY*

[An] important volume [that] offers new evidence on the workings of the Protectorate across the Three Kingdoms. [...] Must be welcomed as a major contribution to our understanding of the Cromwellian Protectorate.
*RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY*

One of the most successful volumes to arise from a conference.[...]Handsomely presented and well edited [it] deserves to be very widely read.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW,*
