The English Civil War - a noble revolt?

Tuesday 3 November, 7pm

Paul Lay, Editor of History Today, interviews acclaimed historian John Adamson about his prize-winning masterwork, The Noble Revolt. John will discuss Charles I and the origins of the English Civil War. Political ideology, hubris, loyalty and treachery all feature in this fascinating discussion.

John Adamson is a fellow of Peterhouse College, Cambridge. The Noble Revolt has been described as "a work of great style and imagination as well as scholarship... As with a great 19thcentury novel, the story and the characters will become your friends for life." (Ed Smith, The Times).
