  Many historical problems connected with Cromwell's political career still await satisfactory explanation. In this important contribution to a distinguished series, Barry Coward (author of Longman's hugely successful survey of The Stuart Age ) uses the words and writings of Cromwell and his contemporaries, and the wealth of recent scholarship on the period, to provide a fresh account of Cromwell's extraordinary career, and a new understanding of his enigmatic and contradictory personality. The clear, attractive narrative will commend the book to non-specialists, while Dr Coward's penetrating analysis will be necessary reading for serious students of the seventeenth century.
