"Gaunt's volume, devoted to the civil war, brings out the
complexities, cross-currents and different interpretations of that
crisis ... a helpful and reliable guide to the shifting centres of
interest in this field." Times Higher Education
Supplement
"A diverse and thought-provoking read, introduced clearly and
effectively by Peter Gaunt." History
"A good, structured introduction to the topic ... Gaunt's
introductory essays to the book's four sections helpfully guide the
unfamiliar reader through the minefield of Civil War
historiography." History
"An expert selection of articles dating from 1972 to 1994, with
a running commentary, the whole intended to convey a clear living
picture of the problems of the period and the diversity of the
historiography ... a formidable task, triumphantly accomplished."
Cromwelliana
"Gaunt's introductions are impressively clear and concise. His
grasp on the subject is never less than firm, and he successfully
locates contributions within their historical and historiographical
contexts, providing a valuable guide to a vast body of literature."
Jason Peacey, History of Parliament Trust - Canadian Journal of
History
"The editor of this commendable work is Peter Gaunt, who has judiciously chosen what he considers to be the most revealing and insightful articles that have been published over the last 30 years. Both his selection of articles and authors are keenly rewarding for anyone who wishes to understand in some depth what unfolded in the British Isles during this era. Above all, Gaunt possesses the talent to summarize divergent opinions deftly." Journal of Church and State<!--end-->
