The classic life of Cromwell by one of Britain's great radical historians.
Christopher Hill (1912-2003) was educated at St Peter's School,
York, and at Balliol College, Oxford, and in 1934 was made a fellow
of All Souls College, Oxford. In 1936 he became lecturer in modern
history at University College, Cardiff, and two years later fellow
and tutor in modern history at Balliol. After war service, which
included two years in the Russian department of the Foreign Office,
he returned to Oxford in 1945. From 1958 until 1965 he was
university lecturer in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century history,
and from 1965 to 1978 he was Master of Balliol College.
His publications include Lenin and the Russian Revolution;
Puritanism and Revolution; God's Englishman- Oliver Cromwell and
the English Revolution; The World Turned Upside Down; Milton and
the English Revolution, which won the Royal Society of Literature
Award; A Turbulent, Seditious and Factious People- John Bunyan and
His Church, which won the 1989 W. H. Smith Literary Award and The
English Bible and the Seventeenth-Century Revolution, which was
shortlisted for the 1993 NCR Book Award.
The master ... Hill is the reason why most of us know anything
about the 17th century at all
