This volume investigates the political and social dynamics of the English Civil War through the primary perspective of Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon. The text combines selections from Clarendon's monumental historical account of the rebellion with his autobiographical writings. By presenting these works together, the editors provide a framework for understanding the motivations, internal conflicts, and eventual restoration of the monarchy during a period of intense national upheaval.
