Ann Hughes, Professor of Early Modern History, Keele University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Goodwin [1594-1665] was one of the most prolific and controversial writers of the English Revolution; his career illustrates some of the most important intellectual developments of the seventeenth century. Educated at Queens'College, Cambridge, he became vicar of a flagship Puritan parish in the City of London. During the 1640s, he wrote in defence of the civil war, the army revolt, Pride's Purge, and the regicide, only to turn against Cromwell in 1657. Finally, repudiating religious uniformity, he became one of England's leading tolerationists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This richly contextualised study, the first modern intellectual biography of Goodwin, explores the whole range of writingsproduced by him and his critics. Amongst much else, it shows that far from being a maverick individualist, Goodwin enjoyed a wide readership, pastored one of the London's largest Independent congregations and was well connected tovarious networks. Hated and admired by Anglicans, Presbyterians and Levellers, he provides us with a new perspective on contemporaries like Richard Baxter and John Milton. It will be of special interest to students of Puritanism, the English Revolution, and early modern intellectual history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e JOHN COFFEY is Reader in Early Modern History at the University of Leicester.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Coffey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843832658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843832652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.52w x 1.03d","brand":"John Coffey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077584974079,"sku":"9781843832652","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d89b39c-0bc8-4511-8457-759cb3a8603d.jpg?v=1685470735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-goodwin-and-the-puritan-john-coffey-9781843832652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
