The English Civil War - or rather, wars, if you break down the overarching conflict into various sets of skirmishes from around 1642 to 1651 - is a classic example of a historical event that has been moulded over the years to fit many different kinds of historical narratives. The English Civil War: Papists, Gentlewomen, Soldiers, and Witchfinders in the Birth of Modern Britain by Diane Purkiss edition is the one being reviewed in this post. edition (too similar to Howard Zinn’s magnum opus, perhaps?), but the U.S. I’m not entirely certain why the title was changed for the U.S. The UK edition of this particular book has the far simpler title The English Civil War: A People’s History. I hope to have at least a few more reviews posted before the end of 2008, if nothing else. I’ve been exceedingly remiss in writing up and posting reviews of books I’ve read recently, owing to a slew of end-of-year commitments that have cut back on my free writing time.
