In: Political studies, Band 22, Heft 4, S. 453-462

Abstract

A RE-EXAMINATION OF WINSTANLEY'S EARLY WRITINGS WILL PERHAPS RESCUE THEM FROM A CONDITION OF RELATIVE OBSCURITY, AND WILL COINCIDE WITH A CURRENT TENDENCY TO TAKE THE WHOLE SUBJECT OF MILLENARIANISM MORE SERIOUSLY. AT THE SAME TIME, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO DISCOVER THAT LIGHT THE EARLY PAMPHLETS THROW UPON WINSTANLEY'S DIGGER WRITINGS.
