Recenzii
Few have trawled the archives with so fine a net and Cressy's account must command respect. All students of the 1640s will want to read his book.
Cressy's objective is to describe what actually happened during these two contentious years before England divided in civil war ... He approaches the task with immense determination and thoroughness. He exploits every possible source of evidence intelligently and imaginatively ... His flair for choosing the apposite quotation and the telling anecdote never deserts him, and the result is a vividly compelling picture of a country collapsing into chaos.
An invaluable resource for any reader interested in this period. The picture Cressy presents is not only rich, but is sure to stir further controversy about the nature of England's "troubles".
Meticulously researched and immensely readable.
Coherent, sophisticated, and thorough [Cressy's] work not only allows a crucial entry into the scholarship he practises but also points to significant implications for early modern scholars in general.
