| Sommario/riassunto: | The Leveller Revolution by John Rees explores the radical political movement known as the Levellers, which emerged in England during the tumultuous period of 1640 to 1650. This book delves into the origins, development, and influence of the Levellers, highlighting their role in the English Civil War and the broader political landscape of the time. Rees provides a detailed examination of key figures such as John Lilburne, and the Levellers' advocacy for civil liberties and democratic reforms.

Through extensive research and analysis, Rees sheds light on the Levellers' impact on political thought and their enduring legacy in the struggle for social justice. |
