'Oliver Cromwell: hero or villain?' by Dr David Smith, Fellow, Selwyn College

Talk by Dr David Smith, Fellow in History - 'Oliver Cromwell: hero or villain?'
The name Oliver Cromwell is synonymous with England's failed Republican experiment. But the man himself continues to fascinate us. In this illustrated talk, Dr David Smith explores Cromwell's life and career through a selection of his letters and speeches, and considers why opinion is still so divided over whether he was a hero or a villain.
Dr Smith is Director of Studies in History at Selwyn College, Cambridge.
He specialises in British political, constitutional and legal history in the seventeenth century.
The talk is introduced by the Master, Roger Mosey and includes a Q&A session.
