Böcker av Margo Todd

Starting with Elizabeth I and going right through to the Civil War, Margo Todd has selected pieces which represent all the main arguments of the "revisionism" debate, which has become extremely complex. The articles should allow students to see how historians use sources to interpret the past.

Traditional views of puritan social thought have done a great injustice to the intellectual history of the sixteenth century. They have presented puritans as creators of a disciplined, progressive, ultimately revolutionary theory of social order. Professor Todd demonstrates that this view is fundamentally ahistorical.
