Left Wing Democracy in the English Civil War - A Study of the Social Philosophy of Gerrard Winstanley

By David Petegorsky

Originally published in the 1930s, this book contains a comprehensive study of the social philosophy of Gerrard Winstanley, and would make an excellent addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the subject. Contents include: The Background of the Civil War; The Development of Radical Political Thought During the Civil War; The Digger Movement; The Political and Social Philosophy of the Digger Movement; Winstanley's Utopia. Many of these earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
