On 3 November 1640, Parliament opened its doors and England stepped towards revolution. Power hangs in the balance. In The History Of The Parliament Of England, Which Began November The Third, 1640, Thomas May records how an ordinary sitting became the Long Parliament and reshaped the political history of England. From the first confrontations between Charles I and Parliament to the unravelling of royal authority, this is English parliamentary history seen at the moment of crisis, a foundational account of the English civil war origins in seventeenth century England. Both narrative and analysis, May's chronicle is a primary source history text that shows how grievances over taxation, religion and law gathered force inside Westminster. His close vantage point makes this a vital Long Parliament history book for anyone interested in Stuart England politics, tracing how argument in the Commons and Lords hardened into a direct challenge to monarchy and helped shape later British constitutional history. Essential reading for English revolution studies, this edition speaks to curious general readers, to those seeking a rigorous introduction to the political history of England, and to those using it for history students and for academic researchers. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
