Steven Gunn. The English People at War in the Age of Henry VIII
Three decades of research on the reign of Henry VIII garnered for Steven Gunn the honor of delivering the James Ford Lectures in British History at the University of Oxford (2015). His monograph The English People at War in the Age of Henry VIII, derived from those discourses, bears the characteristics of the Ford lectures: originality, pithiness, and broad interpretation. Gunn dwells more upon people than monarch (though Bluff King Hal gets his …
Steven G. Ellis. Defending English Ground
Defending English Ground: War and Peace in Meath and Northumberland, 1460–1542, Steven G. Ellis’s latest foray into frontier studies, bears an ironic title that complements its significance. Sponsored partly by the European Commission’s “Europe of the Regions” initiative, the author explores “the wider European context of English frontiers” (ix), freeing two geographically disparate border shires from their national historical narrative. The “cou…
Charles-Édouard Levillain. Un glaive pour un royaume
The late Earl Russell, patriarch of revisionist historical scholarship on the English Civil Wars, remarked more than once that his being an agnostic bestowed some clarity when writing about the British wars of religion. Anglophone scholars have found objectivity to be elusive when interpreting the religious and political upheavals of seventeenth-century Britain. Charles-Édouard Levillain’s exposition on the debate over the militia in the seemingl…
Henry Reece. The Army in Cromwellian England, 1649–1660
Rarely does the “gamekeeper” choose to become the “game.” Henry Reece, formerly chief executive of Oxford University Press, risks such a role reversal by publishing a doctoral dissertation–based book about the English army twenty-seven years after it was promised for delivery to the press. The army that brought victory to Parliament and defeat to the royalists in 1645 did not disband. It was needed elsewhere in the Stuart kingdoms to pacify Engla…
Royalists and Royalism during the English Civil War
Jason McElligott and David L. Smith, eds. Royalists and Royalism during the English Civil War. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007. xiv + 252 pp. index. $99. ISBN: 978–0–521–87007–8. - Volume 61 Issue 3
Confederate Catholics at War, 1641-49
This book evaluates the Confederate Catholic war effort from the preceeding phase of localized insurgency, through the formation of a national self-government in 1642, until the Confederate Catholic regime was finally subsumed in a broad pan-Royalist alliance in 1649. While this alliance held out the prospect of significant religious and constitutional concessons this achievement was nullified by the subsequent Cromwellian catastrophe: the Confed…
Anatomy of a Siege
Dealing in Death
This work examines the ways in which the armies on both sides acquired their arms and equipment during the civil wars in England, Scotland and Ireland. The course of events is appraised in the context of the logistics of arms production and distribution, and whether the needs of each side were satisfied. The author shows how, in terms of logistics, Parliament was in the stronger position: not only did it control the native arms industry, concentr…
