The Independents in the English Civil War by George Yule chronicles the rise and influence of the Independents, a loose but consequential coalition of religious Puritans and parliamentary radicals who stood in fierce opposition to both the Crown and the Presbyterian establishment during one of Britain's most turbulent periods. Yule meticulously details the theological convictions and political ambitions that drove these figures to challenge the very foundations of church and state, illuminating how their insistence on congregational autonomy and liberty of conscience placed them at the vanguard of the parliamentary cause against Charles I.\n\nDrawing on a wealth of primary sources and scholarly rigour, Yule presents a nuanced argument that the Independents were far more than a peripheral sect — they were a decisive force whose legacy echoes in the development of modern democratic and religious freedoms. His prose is precise and authoritative, situating this factional struggle within the grand sweep of British constitutional history. A work of enduring scholarly significance, this volume leaves the reader questioning just how differently the English-speaking world might have evolved had the Independents lost their nerve at history's most critical hour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130991681755,"sku":"2026200012596-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/647a93f2-e4a4-4632-b13f-5dd54269eca7.png?v=1786593840","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012596-secondhand-the-independents-in-the-english-civil-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
