| Summary: | Cromwell's Legacy is a most enjoyable book to read, containing a set of varied essays and using a multifaceted approach. The book is distinctive. The collection does contain what might be regarded as “the usual suspects”—such as discussions of Cromwell in Ireland and Scotland, Cromwell and religion, and so forth—but even here discussion goes beyond the usual. The Cromwell in Ireland essay by Toby Barnard looks at Cromwell in terms not of the contemporary context, the sort of “Top-Trumps” of one-upmanship of who was the most violent of soldiers there, but instead in terms of the legacy of resettlement and the redistribution of land and how Cromwell interplays with contemporary debates over time. |
