Fifty years after the publication of Christopher Hill's celebrated Marxist analysis of the English Civil War, 'The World Turned Upside Down', historian Michael Sturza has written a new book that reprises some of Hill's arguments and sets out to refute revisionist attempts to take revolutionary politics out of the history of this tumultuous period.
Michael joins Paul and Miranda on the podcast to discuss his fascinating book, 'The London Revolution 1640-643: Class Struggles in 17th Century England', which emphasises London's place at the heart of events and argues that popular revolt was a powerful motivating force behind the many dramatic upheavals of the time.
'1666 and All That' is presented by Miranda Malins and Paul Lay. The producer is Hugh Costello. Original music by George Taylor. The episode is mixed by Alfie Thompson.
