Description:The Levellers speak to us direct across three centuries.So writes Christopher Hill, Master of Balliol College, Oxford, in his foreword to this selection of Leveller writings. Indeed, many of the Levellers’ ideas are relevant today, despite the lapse of three hundred years.This unique assembly of seventeen original Leveller texts, of which some six are reprinted for the first time, presents the living picture of this great movement which stirred the rank and file of the Cromwellian army and spread thence widely among the common people. The Levellers were eventually suppressed and dispersed - but their message lives on. Not least among their achievements was that they were the first, in their opposition to Cromwell’s reconquest of Ireland, to protest against an aggressive colonial war.The editor, A. L.
