Cromwellian Conversations 31: The Blazing World

Historian Jonathan Healey has just published a new book on Seventeenth Century England, 'The Blazing World', providing a witty, thought provoking and well researched overview of the period that includes high politics and domestic detail. Here he's in conversation with the Cromwell Museum's Curator Stuart Orme on his new book, covering such topics as the obession with moral bans in the 1600s, parallels with Brexit, the role of women and what we should be calling the Civil Wars - Rebellion? Revolution? Wars of Three Kingdoms. There's also a great discussion on Cromwell and how we should look at his motivations in this period.
