THE CIVIL WARS EXPERIENCED
The Civil Wars Experienced
is an exciting new history of the Civil Wars, which
recounts their effects on ‘the common people’. This engaging survey throws new
light onto a century of violence and political and social upheaval.
By looking at personal sources such as diaries, petitions, letters and social
sources, including the press,
The Civil Wars Experienced
clearly sets out the true
personal and cultural effects of the wars on the peoples of England, Scotland,
Wales and Ireland, and how common experiences transcended national and
regional boundaries. It ranges widely from the Orkneys to Galway and from
Radnorshire to Norfolk.
The Civil Wars Experienced
explores exactly how far-reaching the changes
caused by Civil Wars actually were for both women and men and carefully
assesses individual reactions towards them. For most people, fear, familial
concerns and material priorities dictated their lives, but for others the civil
revolutions provided a positive force for their own spiritual and religious
development.
By placing the military and political developments of the Civil War in a social
context, this book portrays a very different interpretation of a century of regicide
and republic.

Stars blazed, protazoa coupled, apes levered themselves upright, generations
of men and women lived and died, and like them all I, Joan, have made
history.
