Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches - Vol. I

"Oliver Cromwell’s Letters and Speeches – Volume I" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical compilation and interpretation of the life of Oliver Cromwell, the 17th-century English military and political leader. Carlyle presents Cromwell not through conventional biography, but largely in Cromwell’s own words, supplemented by Carlyle’s extensive commentary. Volume I focuses on Cromwell’s early life, his rise through Parliament, and the turbulent years leading up to and during the English Civil War. Carlyle aims to rehabilitate Cromwell’s image, portraying him as a man of deep faith, conviction, and reluctant power. The book combines primary documents with philosophical reflection, giving readers both the man and the myth.
"Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches - Vol. I" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1897.
