书目名称 | London and the Civil War | 编辑 | Stephen Porter (Assistant Editor) | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | `The book has a freshness of viewpoint which makes most enjoyable reading.‘ - Joan Thirsk As the country‘s largest city, the focus of its trade and cultural life and the possessor of sizeable militia forces and the national capital, London‘s influence on the country‘s history has always been very important. In particular its adherence to the parliamentarian cause was crucial to the outcome of the first Civil War and its aloofness from the second Civil War was no less significant. The essays in this volume examine the background to its choice of allegiance, the way in which it was secured for the parliamentary cause in 1642, its contribution to the war effort, the royalists‘ reaction to its recalcitrance, the impact of the war upon the capital and its importance as the centre of politically inspired ceremonial. | 出版日期 | Book 1996 | 关键词 | civil war; history; insurgency; revolution | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-24861-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-24861-2 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 1996 |
