This well-rounded study of Oliver Cromwell does equal justice to the public and private lives, political career, military abilities and passionate religiosity of a key figure in British History.
Ian Gentles synthesizes much recent research into Cromwell’s life, including his activity as a lay preacher, his patronage of the arts, and promotion of horse breeding. With analysis of fresh findings on Cromwell’s pay as a soldier, his personal enrichment as general and lord protector, his little-known erotic side, and his generosity in the cause of international Protestantism, Gentles offers a truly comprehensive study of a central player in the English Civil War.
Building on the strong foundations laid by the 1st edition, Oliver Cromwell has been updated to include:
-Expanded material on the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland and its aftermath
-Enhanced coverage of the Protectorate
-An updated conclusion with fresh analysis of Cromwell’s legacy
-A new timeline and family tree
Ideal for students and general readers alike, this is an essential and stimulating introduction to all aspects of the life of Oliver Cromwell.
