¿QUIÉNES ERAN REALMENTE LOS PURITANOS?La era puritana fue extremadamente importante en la formación de la constitución inglesa y su efecto sobre la iglesia. Nos dio una tradición de teología pastoral sin igual en la historia del mundo evangélico protestante. Hoy en día, una parte significativa de la iglesia ha decidido que su ministerio actual debe llevarse a cabo de forma pragmática en lugar de teológica. Lo que funciona" es más importante que "lo que es más bíblico". Si queremos ser eficaces en el siglo XXI, necesitamos sentarnos a los pies de los puritanos.Aunque la contribución e influencia de los puritanos ha sido muy extendida, poco se conoce sobre sus orígenes, creencias, y conflictos en los que se vieron envueltos. El puritanismo, a menudo malinterpretado, fue un movimiento dentro de la Iglesia Establecida de Inglaterra. Su objetivo era alinear las prácticas eclesiásticas con la reforma protestante continental. Este libro aporta una contribución histórica para una mejor comprensión de los puritanos. Este trabajo destaca por incorporar múltiples elementos que la enriquecen, la posicionan como una versión excepcionalmente más completa en comparación con su original en inglés. Tres componentes clave diferencian esta versión de la edición inglesa.Primero, además de ser una traducción total y precisa del trabajo original de Brown, sin abreviaciones o reducciones, esta edición incluye una cantidad considerable de contenido adicional ausente en la versión original. Se han incorporado más de sesenta notas aclaratorias al texto de Brown, que no solo clarifican y expanden la información presentada sino que también ofrecen valiosos detalles sobre el contexto histórico, político y social de varios eventos importantes. Estas anotaciones son una herramienta indispensable para profundizar en el tema, ampliando la información proporcionada por Brown.En segundo lugar, se han incluido un apéndice y una introducción breve del libro de Nick Needham, "2000 Años del poder de Cristo: La era del conflicto religioso - Vol. 4". Esta adición ayuda a compensar algunas de las deficiencias y omisiones de la obra original de Brown, mejorando considerablemente su precisión histórica con los descubrimientos más recientes en este campo de estudio.Finalmente, la inclusión de títulos y subtítulos a lo largo del texto divide cada capítulo en secciones más cortas, facilitando la lectura y comprensión de los conceptos presentados. Además, se ha añadido un índice de nombres al final del libro para facilitar su navegación temática. Todos estos elementos enriquecen la calidad de esta obra, estableciéndola como única en relación a las publicaciones existentes en español sobre este tema. Sobre el autor: John Brown (1830-1922) fue un destacado historiador y pastor británico, nacido en Manchester, y conocido por su profundo interés y estudio de los puritanos ingleses; y como uno de los lideres principales de la Iglesia Congregacional en Inglaterra. Brown realizo estudios Manchester, y Lancashire; y realizo estudios de postgrado en la prestigiosa Universidad de Londres, graduándose en 1853. No solo fue un académico, sino también pastor. Su obra e interés por los puritanos comenzó en 1864 cuando se convirtió en pastor de la histórica iglesia de Bunyan en Bedford, siendo el noveno pastor de la iglesia. Aunque muchos suponen que Bunyan fue el fundador y primer pastor de la iglesia, en realidad fue el tercero, siendo John Gifford el primero. Brown es mejor recordado por su obra biográfica de John Bunyan, la primera biografía moderna de Bunyan. Esta obra biográfica sobre Bunyan le valió el título de Doctor en Divinidad, otorgado por la Universidad de Yale en 1885.

SENSATION. CELEBRITY. This is The Scandal of the Century - and the true story of the author Aphra Behn, who used a shocking love affair to create the first English novel . . . ----In 1682, a young woman in the throes of a passionate affair flees her parents' home in Surrey to seek a new life in London. A scandal in its own right, but this is no ordinary young woman: Lady Henrietta Berkeley is the daughter of one of England's most powerful men, and her lover is her own sister's husband. As news of this notorious adulteress spreads, her flight, capture and the lawsuit that follow tear through society as the scandal of the century.To Aphra Behn, England's first professional female writer - herself condemned as a scarlet woman of loose morals - Henrietta's trial would be more than a source of shock and intrigue: it would inspire her to write Love Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister, an outrageous and bestselling political fiction and arguably the first novel in English literature.Aphra herself is an enigma, the facts about her life continually disputed. By revealing the story of these two rebellious and ruthless women, Lisa Hilton's new history offers a surprisingly original theory on the origins of one of England's most celebrated playwrights. Against the backdrop of seventeenth-century England, with its strict traditional conventions of love, duty and identity, The Scandal of the Century shows just how far both women will go to break free.---'Gloriously mind-boggling . . .

The resumption of conflict between 1648 and 1651 is frequently referred to as the Second and Third Civil Wars. The period marked not only a return to war, but to a bloodier, more violent conflict that had perhaps been seen before in the British Isles. Massacre, summary executions, wonton destruction and assault on the civilian population were commonplace. In early 1648 a political faction called the 'Engagers' gained control of the Scottish Government and sent an army into England to support numerous pro-Royalist risings across the country. Poorly equipped and trained with low morale, the Scottish 'Engager' Army and its Royalist allies were no match for the New Model Army led by Cromwell. The two sides met at Preston in August 1648 and after an initial clash, the Scots finally surrendered at Warrington two days later.Following the execution of Charles Ist in January 1649, the Scots supporting his son Charles IInd went to war against England, now a republic. A second invasion of England was launched, and the Scots found themselves corned at Worcester by English forces, once again led by Oliver Cromwell. The battle, the last major action of the British Civil Wars was fought on the 3rd September 1651, was described by Cromwell as 'a crowning mercy'.The venue for the 2022 conference was Worcester Cathedral. The obvious theme for the conference was the Scottish invasions of England in 1648 and 1651. Not only did Worcester witness the last major battle of the British Civil Wars, but the Cathedral was used as a temporary prison to hold the Scottish prisoners.The papers in this book of proceedings include: Ronald Hutton - Key Note Speaker and ForewordStuart Jennings - Colonel Francis Thornhagh and the Battle of Preston, 1648Peter Gaunt - A Tale of Two Risings: Was the second civil war in England and Wales primarily pro-Royalist or anti-Parliamentarian?Malcolm Wanklyn - The Control of Command in the British Wars 1642-1651 Edward Furgol - Three armies into one?

Until now historical works have neglected to fully consider the events of the British Civil Wars with respect to the logistics and supply systems. As such, this book evaluates and challenges these narratives of the wars by tackling historical debates through the lens of these logistics and supply systems at an operational level. How the military logistics and supply systems of the period functioned is revealed, including what methods of supply were used, what decisions and events these systems impacted, and how these related to strategic and tactical outcomes of the wars. The book investigates the facets of land, coastal, and riverine transportation, the supply of manpower to the armies, and the supply of food, clothing, and shelter to multiple forces across various conflicts throughout the British Civil Wars. With an application of a broad range of both civilian and military sources, this research employs archival and manuscript materials from national and local archives across the British Isles, contemporary tracts, letters, books, and pamphlets, as well as secondary literature from a variety of historical fields--from military history, economic and social studies, as well as reconstructive archaeology. As a result, the study outlines regional disparity in military logistics systems due to reliance on pre-existing civilian structures and methods--which had not been developed with a military purpose in mind and resulted in substantial logistical and supply differences that consequently, and heavily, favored one faction over another.Many questions that have bedevilled previous historiography--and some that remain contentious even today--are likewise explored through this new perspective. This includes, but is not limited to, countering the simple narrative that Royalist armies were terribly supplied in comparison to Parliament, placing the Royalists' Gloucester campaign in its correct strategic context, highlighting Catholic recruitment to Cromwell's forces in Ireland, and providing a reasonable and informed explanation for Prince Rupert's decision to fight at Marston Moor--all through the lens of logistics and supply. It emphasizes the absolute necessity of interactions between civil and military authority across multiple levels to supply early modern forces, providing a more nuanced history of civilian and military interactions than the popular view of soldiers imposing their will on a suffering population.The book's analysis of logistics and supply during the British Civil Wars, a focus not undertaken in such detail so far for the period, will provide a compelling read for those with interests in the operational realities of warfare during the seventeenth century more broadly, and the British Civil Wars in particular.
Between 1639 and 1660, more than 1,000 places across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were fortified. These included towns and villages, castles and manor houses, as well as new places of strength. They ranged in complexity from the simple strengthening of existing medieval walls to the sophisticated re-fortification of major towns. Often overlooked in the context of European military engineering, and in terms of the so-called 'military revolution' of the period, the design and construction of the Civil War fortress progressed during the period, evolving from the basic ditch and rampart of the early years of the fighting to the massive stone-built citadels of the Protectorate. Over half of these so-called 'fortified places' witnessed some sort of military action, although it is wrong to conclude that the fortress warfare of the period was purely about sieges. The Town Well Fortified is a brand-new study which looks at the strategic and tactical importance of fortifications, and their influence on the respective war effort of all sides, particularly in terms of logistics, and the concept of 'protected corridors' which connected key locations and dominated campaigns. The book also places the fortress in its geographical context, and considers how the local topography influenced placement and design. Given the years of peace enjoyed by much of the Three Kingdoms prior to the Civil Wars, it is no surprise that fortress construction was heavily influenced by European practice, although the fortified landscape prior to 1639, including a heritage stretching back as far as Roman times (and beyond), was also important.The design and construction of the fortifications is also considered, both in terms of the theory, especially from the military manuals of the time, and then the practice, including several contemporary and eyewitness accounts. The book also examines actual numbers, locations, and types of fortresses, including an assessment of the type of fort known as a 'sconce'.Secondary sources have been re-examined, and brought together with ongoing research, including recent archaeological investigations (which, among other things, consider just how earthworks were built), in this ground breaking-study which offers a fresh interpretation of the subject of fortresses during the Civil Wars. The use of up-to-date research is reflected in the book's spotlight on the current and yet largely unpublished investigations at King's Lynn, London, and the Isle of Man. But the inclusion of findings from the Civil War Fortifications Register project ensures this book genuinely encompasses the whole of Britain and Ireland.This is the result of more than thirty years of research, including the author's thorough and ongoing study of London's fortifications, the King's Lynn under Siege archaeological project, and the results from the development of a register identifying every place fortified during the Civil Wars across the entire British Isles.
