Everyday Anarchism

139. Hill's The World Turned Upside Down -- Ann Hughes (English Revolution)

A spectre is haunting the Everyday Anarchism series on the English revolution: the spectre of Christopher Hill's 1972 book The World Turned Upside Down. It turns out most of the ideas I've shared in this series came from Hill's book!

Ann Hughes joins me to discuss the book, and we talk through the following questions:

  • Did Hill invent the idea of the English revolution?
  • How did the radicalism of the 1960s affect Hill's approach?
  • Was Winstanley an anarchist?
  • Was the English Revolution the beginning of modernity?

Thanks so much to Ann and all the other guests in this year-long series, now (probably) concluded!
