King Cromwell
T769583687
In 1657 Parliament offered Oliver Cromwell the crown. Would his acceptance confirm the 1649 Revolution, or betray the first English Republic? Was Cromwell a democratic parliamentarian, a radical revolutionary, a religious fundamentalist, a military dictator, a typical English pragmatist - or all five? Why did this puritan love music, approve the first English operas and hire Andrew Marvell to write poetry for him?
