Times Literary Supplement
The writing is so supple and accessible, and the argument so persuasive, it's like watching a cloudy mixture of ideas being turned into a clear solution.
- Adrienne Rich,
A splendid book.
- Eric Hobsbawm,
Meiksins Wood is a rare breed--an academic with the soul of a storyteller. Highly recommended.
Morning Star
Immensely impressive, bold and erudite ... This book ought to be compulsory reading for us all.
Times Higher Education Supplement
A breath of fresh air ... This book made me think about, and rethink, seventeenth-century English history more than any I have read in decades ... a pleasure to read.
