Christopher Hill – The World Turned Upside Down: Radical Ideas During the English Revolution (The Folio Society, 2005)

Edition: Folio Society Edition, still sealed in original shrink-wrap.

Description:
Christopher Hill’s The World Turned Upside Down remains one of the defining works on the English Revolution — a landmark study of the radical thinkers, religious visionaries, and social rebels who reshaped 17th-century England. Hill, one of Britain’s most respected Marxist historians, illuminates how ordinary men and women — Levellers, Diggers, Ranters, and other dissenting voices — challenged hierarchy, property, and power at a moment when the world truly seemed ready to be remade.

Content:
This work explores the explosion of revolutionary thought during the English Civil War, tracing the intellectual and social movements that laid the groundwork for later democratic and egalitarian ideas. Hill’s analysis combines meticulous historical research with a profound understanding of human aspiration and struggle.
