  • The Clubmen During the English Civil Wars
    Riotous or Revolutionary: The Clubmen during the English Civil Wars John Staab John Staab is a teacher at Champaign Central High School and received his B.A. from Eastern Illinois University. Currently an M.A. in History candidate at Eastern, he wrote this essay for Dr. Newton Key’s Early Modern Revolutions graduate seminar in fall 2002. The English Civil Wars and Regicide, 1642-49, has been viewed as one of the “great” revolutions. Like the French and Russian Revolutions, the earlier English Revolution saw protests against the government coalesce into armed rebellion, civil war, and then the overthrow of the old order, including the execution of the monarch and establishment of the new rule. In these great Revolutions, historians have pointed to revolutionary moments, such as the peasant uprisings in France in the summer and fall of 1789. To Marxist historians like Christopher Hill, these peasant uprisings act as a prelude, or stepping stone, to a larger social revolution. In the English Civil Wars, which pitted the supporters of the King (Royalists, or Cavaliers) against the Roundhead Parliamentarians, some might point to the rise of the 1644 Clubmen in the countryside as just such a lower class, agrarian revolutionary moment. This paper uses the demands and actions of the Clubmen as a test case to see if definitions of revolution apply to such a group. It also compares them to the French peasant revolts of the mid- seventeenth century, such as the Nu Pieds, in order to question the general revolutionary content of agrarian movements in the early modern period.

The circumstances of his life made him a late starter and his first published work did not appear until he was in his late thirties, and his first monograph not until he was 64. The two books for which he will be most remembered appeared in his sixty-ninth and his eighty-fourth year. To put it another way, by the age of 60 he had published just over 500 pages of academic prose; between his sixtieth birthday and his death twenty-five years later, he had published another 2,000 pages. And in other ways too, he spread his wings in his last fifteen years in a manner that rounded out what had hitherto been a successful career distinguished, but also limited, by dutifulness. The economic and political circumstances of his early life diverted his career from a natural academic track.1 Austin was born on 18 May 1918, one of three children of Stanley H. C.

  • John Morrill and the Experience of Revolution
    Introduction: John Morrill and the experience of revolution Michael J. Braddick and David L. Smith I When John Morrill began his research career the most influential writ- ing about mid-seventeenth-century England was essentially concerned with modernization, and, even in non-Marxist explanations, contained a strong strain of materialism. This was a prominent feature of the some- times vituperative exchanges of the gentry debate, and John’s first piece of extended writing about seventeenth-century England was written in response to that controversy; it was a long essay, composed during a sum- mer vacation, which examined the relationship between the fortunes of particular gentry families and their Civil War allegiance. His interest in local realities, however, quickly gave rise to dissatisfaction with the broad categories of analysis with which the gentry controversy was engaged. By the time that he published the monograph based on his Oxford D.Phil. thesis, in 1974, he concluded (among other things) that ‘the particular sit- uation in Cheshire diffracted the conflicts between King and Parliament into an individual and specific pattern. As a result all rigid, generalized explanations, particularly of the socio-economic kind, are unhelpful if not downright misleading.’1 A desire to do better than these generaliza- tions has driven his work ever since, and has thereby provided a huge stimulus to scholars of early modern England. His doctoral study of Cheshire marked the beginning of the first of three overlapping but distinct phases in the development of his work, in each of which he has been a leading figure. All have been a point of refer- ence for the work of numerous scholars engaged in a critical reappraisal of the Whig and Marxist traditions.

His father was Anglo-Irish. The Aylmers—the name derives from the Anglo-Saxon Aethelmar, latinised as Ailmerus—had taken part in the Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland. Sir Gerald Aylmer was Chief Justice of Ireland in the second quarter of the sixteenth century. After him came many high-ranking naval and military officers. Admiral Matthew Aylmer commanded the British Fleet during the War of the Spanish Succession and was made an Irish peer. The fifth Lord Aylmer fought in the Penin- sular War and was Governor-General of Canada. The sixth was an admi- ral who had been with Nelson at the Nile. General Sir Fenton Aylmer won the Victoria Cross in India. Gerald’s mother was descended from self- made South Wales business people, but there were two more admirals on her side of the family. Gerald’s great-uncle Willie, Lord Desborough, was the father of the First World War poet, Julian Grenfell, and a celebrated athlete: President of the MCC, the Lawn Tennis Association, the Amateur Fencing Associ- ation, and the 1908 Olympic Games. He stroked an eight across the Chan- nel, climbed in the Alps, shot in India and Africa, twice swam Niagara and was elected an Honorary Fellow of Balliol.

The past two decades have witnessed a lively and stimulating debate about the reception and entrenchment of Protestant belief and practice in local contexts. Over the same period we have seen a series of heated and animated exchanges about the developments taking place within the early Stuart Church and the role they played in triggering the outbreak of hostilities between Charles and Parliament in . While the focus of the first controversy has been the relationship between zealous Protestantism and the vast mass of the ordinary people, the second has been conducted almost exclusively at the level of the learned polemical literature of the clerical elite. So far little attempt has been made to bridge and span the gap.
