Although Oliver Cromwell was essentially a man of action, he was also very much a man of the word, whether written or spoken, informal or ceremonial. Fortunately many of his speeches have survived, giving the modern reader the opportunity to glimpse how Cromwell grappled with the unique and unprecedented problems of guiding the country following the first and only execution of an English monarch. Ivan Roots has here gathered together those speeches and recorded conversations of Cromwell that chart the course of his career, that throw light on Cromwell the man as well as on Cromwell the politician, and that illuminate the political and constitutional history of the Protectorate. In the speeches there is, still, as Carlyle put it, 'more of Oliver than in most of the history books about him'.

Poetry

The Female Tatler was a popular scandal sheet published in London in 1709 and 1710. With a cruel humor verging on the libelous, its author Mrs. Crackenthorpe and her successors poked fun at London's well-known citizens three times every week. Their ironic interest in the "improvement of ladies" at best disguised a more prurient-yet much more interesting-portrayal of the capital's drawing rooms, gaming clubs and India Houses of eighteenth century London.
