'The Law of Freedom' and Other Writings

Leader of the Diggers, or True Levellers, whose colony was forced to disband in 1650, Gerrard Winstanley stands out from a century remarkable for its development in political thought as one of the most fecund and original of political writers. Christopher Hill's selection from Winstanley's many published pamphlets demonstrates the coherence and social relevance of Winstanley's philosophy, while it reveals his mastery of colloquial prose and his superb use of imagery.Winstanley, Gerrard is the author of ''The Law of Freedom' and Other Writings', published 1983 under ISBN 9780521252997 and ISBN 0521252997.
