The essays brought together in this first, edited collection to be devoted specifically to the memory of the Civil Wars, provides a clear and accessible introduction to this fast-developing field of study, bringing together a diverse group of scholars who are working at its cutting edge. "This wide-ranging, rich and innovative collection throws new light on how memories of the civil war were fashioned and refashioned by former participants and by their families, friends, allies and adversaries. The essays explore parliamentarians and royalists, individuals and institutions, and memories of place as well as people."? Bernard Capp, University of Warwick and FBA, UK
