Description
“The spirit of the first democratic protest movement in modern history is dramatically captured in this collection of contemporary documents. The Levellers, an extremist English Puritan sect, instigated an abortive revolution in the seventeenth century. As these writings show, the activities of this group were varied and wide-ranging: radical journalism and pamphleteering combined with ideological zeal and political activism, all within the framework of mass organization. These unusual show more documents, supplemented by the editor's informative introduction, shed light on the events of the period, on the personalities of the remarkable Leveller leaders, and on the sources of Leveller ideology.”-Publisher. show lessTags
