The English People And The English Revolution

The English People and the English Revolution (1978) – Brian Manning (Penguin Books)
Sold by Crappy Old Books

A cornerstone of Marxist historiography, The English People and the English Revolution by Brian Manning brings the 17th-century upheaval to life not through kings and generals, but through the eyes of the common people. First published in 1978 by Penguin Books, this accessible yet rigorous study delves into the social forces that drove the English Civil War and transformed the political landscape. Manning, a committed historian of the left, explores class struggle, radical movements, and the power of popular agency with both passion and scholarly depth.

This particular copy has seen better days — much like the monarchy it critiques — but it’s complete, readable, and full of revolutionary spirit. A must-have for collectors of radical history, students of revolution, or anyone who enjoys a good scuffle with Cromwell and company.

Condition: Dog-eared, marginally annotated, smells like rebellion.
Price: Cheap, because history belongs to the people.

Very good condition for its age. Hardly been read at all.
