Two Lives During the English Civil War William Blundell

The Royalist and the Parliamentarian

These two comparatively short pieces have been brought together by the Leonaur Editors in the interests of good value and also because it may be improbable that they would achieve publication singly in modern times. They each give the reader an insight into the life of English people-each one with political sympathies opposed to the other-during the time of social upheaval and conflict which was the English Civil War of the mid-seventeenth century. These are very personal documents which reflect and comment upon the great events which were unfolding and upon the more immediate effect these had on the lives of ordinary people. Perhaps most significant are those passages-perhaps peculiar to a house divided-that reveal how every day life carried on against a backdrop of war. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.
