by J. Sears McGee (Author)
The huge archive of the personal papers (most of them unexamined by historians) of Sir Simonds D'Ewes afford us an intimate view of both the public and private lives of a seventeenth-century gentleman-a Puritan, a Parliamentarian, a lawyer, genealogist, and antiquarian who deepens our understanding of the reasons why Britain plunged into civil wars in the 1640s and why the wars had the consequences that they did.
