Description
This is the first edition of the complete works of Gerrard Winstanley

modern scholarly editing. The editorial team combines the expertise of 
acclaimed prize-winning literary scholars and a leading historian of 
seventeenth-century England. It sets a new standard in the

War. Its substantial introduction establishes Winstanley's distinctive

his literary achievements, while the annotation elucidates the wealth 
of his biblical allusion and his engagement with the politics of his 
day. This edition ensures Winstanley's standing as one of the most

Reviews

"Underpinned as they are by formidable learning, these volumes will 
become the standard edition. The texts are clearly presented, 
uncluttered by editorial comment or annotation, but the whole is set 
carefully in context by the textual introduction, which scrupulously 
details textual variations and the editorial decisions made here. Each 
publication has extensive notes which helpfully elucidate the text."
