Social Conflict in early Stuart England
Eight lectures given by PETER LASLETT , Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. at the University of Warwick
6: The Justification of Resistance
The great importance of the Levellers to the creation of a model of English society in the early seventeenth century is the negative evidence they give about the nature of that society.
MR. LASLETT considers the Levellers' ideas, and discusses whether they were produced by the events of the 1640s or whether they represent the usual feelings of those just below the level of political significance.
