In this episode we discuss Christopher Hill’s The World Turned Upside Down: Radical Ideas During the English Revolution, originally published in 1972.
This book is widely regarded as a seminal work of history from below, which popularised the concept of the English Revolution and helped to establish the ideas of the Levellers, Diggers, Seekers and Ranters as a key part of the radical tradition in England and beyond.
