Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches of Oliver Cromwell: 1644-1658 These speeches have been collected with two distinct objects in view. In the first place, it is thought that no proper idea of the Protector, as a speaker, can be obtained if attention only is paid to the last few years of his life. His activity extends from 1629 to 1658, a fact which should not be altogether ignored simply because the historical material at our disposal is scanty. For this reason a beginning has been made with the year 1644, a date that should serve to remind readers of how much must be missing, for Cromwell surely took some part in the long constitutional debates that preceded the outbreak of the Civil War. And for this reason also, the ´substance´ of a large number of speeches has been included. These fragments give greater continuity to the book, they enable us to form a more general estimate of Cromwell´s speech-making, and to realize the poverty of our historical records.
