Media Reviews
This remarkable book offers both a passionate engagement with the concrete processes of political struggle in the English Revolution and a powerful critique of current theoretical models in historiography and literary theory. Intellectually alive from start to finish, Holstun's book captures the polemical energy of the early modern period he discusses. - David Nordbrook, Merton Chair of English Literature, Oxford University ...thoroughly though-provoking... - History: The Journal of the Historical Association Ehud's Dagger brings the vents of the Civil War period and the ordinary people who made them to life. -- Observer ... an examination of radical projects which demonstrate the practical contribution of working people in the 1650s. - History Today Powerfully cogent, often brilliant in its stylistic sophistication, and magisterial in the range of its scholarship... a work brimming with intelligence. - Chris Fitter, Rutgers University ... an intense, thoroughly researched new Marxist study of the English Revolution - Choice As an antidote to the distortions of revisionism and as an expression of the continuing vitality of Marxist historiography, Ehud's Dagger is particularly welcome. Three cheers for it! - Albion Holstun writes with a meticulous attention to historical detail, evoking the sense of peering into the past through a window in time. -- Reviewer's Bookwatch
