Series: Routledge Library Editions: Puritanism

Originally published in 1955 and based on research of public records and other contemporary sources, this book builds up an excellent picture of England before the Civil War. Through a series of case studies, it examines the type of person who emigrated to New England and their motivation for doing so. The wealth of evidence from original documents is clearly arranged and provides a refreshing reassessment of the period, showing that although religious conviction was a clear motive for emigration, the Puritan were also seeking security from hardships of other kinds.

Reviews for Charles I and the Puritan Upheaval: A Study of the Causes of the Great Migration

‘…a penetrating and profound study, a major contribution to historical studies in our time.’ Times Literary Supplement ‘A triumph of research, synthesis and clarity. It will be the standard account for some long time to come.’ Times Educational Supplement ‘…pulls together and makes sense of the work of a generation of historians. For religious and political history his book is an event of great significance… it will be the starting point for our thought about Puritanism for many years to come.
