5.0 out of 5 stars preparation for civil war, 17 Jul 2002

By A Customer

dr eales is the noted expert in this field and here she focuses on the harley family of brampton bryan in herefordshire as a window into the puritan weltanschauung during the lead up to the english civil war-parliament against the king. her particular heroine is lady brilliana harley who was a feminist before the word was invented-strong opinions determination and guts led her to defend the fortified manor against royalist troops during the war.this is a must for all keen students of english 17th century life and politics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, 6 Jul 2007

By	Hugh Davies "Hugh Davies" (UK) - See all my reviews

This book is based on the private papers of the Harley family of Brampton Bryan and in particular on the letters of Lady Brilliana Harley(1598 - 1643), which contain an unparalleled account of the development of civil war parties in an English county. The Harleys were the only major gentry family in Herefordshire to support Parliament against the King during the English Civil War. Sir Robert Harley KB (1579 - 1656) was a prominent member of the Long Parliament until his exclusion at Pride's Purge in 1648. His wife Lady Brilliana was a staunch supporter of the Parliament and led the successful defence of Brampton Castle against a royalist siege in the summer of 1643. Religion played a prominent role in the formation of royalist and parliamentarian parties in Herefordshire in 1642, for the Harleys were also the only major gentry family in the county who were puritans. This book thus uses the unique Harley family archives in order to trace the impact of religious beliefs on political affiliations in Herefordshire before and during the outbreak of the Civil War. This is not simply a family history. The Harleys were in contact with a wide circle of puritan clergy and laity throughout the English and Welsh marcher counties, the Midlands and London. The Harley papers are used to demonstrate the growth of conflicting religious and political ideologies in the early Stuart period and to show how those competing ideologies contributed to the outbreak of a civil war in 1642.
Dr Jackie Eales is Reader in History at Canterbury Christ Church University College, England.
