John Morrill writes political and religious history of seventeenth-century Britain, with particular expertise in the causes and character of the English Civil War. The Revolt of the Provinces examines regional resistance and allegiance, while collected essays such as The Nature of the English Revolution argue for the central importance of religion alongside constitutional and social conflict. His work also addresses Oliver Cromwell, the Stuart kingdoms and the idea of a British rather than purely English civil war. Morrill's prose is scholarly, argumentative and source-driven. His work fits English Civil War studies, Stuart Britain, religious history and political historiography. Read more Less
