The Glass Ceiling
John Hutchinson, as governor of Nottingham and its castle, was crucial to parliament’s cause in the north and east Midlands during the first civil war. Alongside Sir John Gell, Hutchinson’s counterpart in Derbyshire he was largely responsible for the initial establishment of the parliamentarian presence in the region.

Major General Thomas Harrison
Harrison was one of the major figures of the civil wars in Britain and Ireland who established a reputation for himself as a field officer. His reputation was enhanced throughout the 1650s and ensured that he was something of a dark celebrity in 1660. David Farr’s biography is a study of Harrison’s religious and political life rather than his military career—something which the headline title might have led a reader to expect, but an aim which th…
Conflict and Soldiers’ Literature in Early Modern Europe
Paul Scannell’s book covers a wide time period in a narrow structure—just four chapters, topped and tailed with a fourteen-page introduction and an equally brief conclusion.

Oliver Cromwell
The English Civil War
The English Civil War (1642-53) is one of the most crucial periods in British history. Martyn Bennett introduces the reader to the main debates surrounding the Civil War which continue to be debated by historians. He considers the repercussions both on government and religion, of Parliament's failure to secure stability after the Royalist defeat in 1646, and argues that this opened the way for far more radical reforms. The book deals with the mil…
