Though the book is entitled English Revolution, it covers more than just the eras often attributed to the term. As a matter of fact, the book is instead a collection of lectures on several subjects relating to sudden upheaval in English society, including the English Reformation era alongside the English Civil Wars and Commonwealth period. The lecturer and author of the book is an English philosopher, political radical and temperance reformer, and a member of the British idealism movement — Thomas Hill Green.
