by William Howard Greenleaf

First Published in 2004. This study of the British Political Tradition will be complete in four volumes of which The Ideological Heritage is the second. This is an attempt to show how the basic tension between libertarianism and collectivism is reflected in arguments of state; how our three main political doctrines have both stimulated and reacted to the growth of government intervention and the proliferation of public agency; and how they have dealt with the problems of individual liberty involved.

Bond Men Made Free

by Rodney Howard Hilton

1988 · Psychology Press

Rodney Hilton's account of the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 remains the classic authoritative text on the 'English Rising'. Hilton views the revolt in the context of a genral European pattern of class conflict. He demonstrates that the peasant movements that disturbed the Middle Ages were not mere unrelated outbreaks of violence but had their roots in common economic and political conditions and in a recurring conflict of interest between peasants and landowners. Now with a new introduction by Christopher Dyer, this survey is still a leading source for students of medieval English peasantry.
