Levellers: Overton, Walwyn and Lilburne (British Classical Liberalism, 1600-1900)

The Levellers burst onto the historical, political and legal scene during the English Civil War of 1641-1646. In their writings they laid out a vision of limited government that generations of "liberals" would later develop. As well as containing all the central writings of Overton, Walwyn and Lilburne, this set includes a selection of responses, criticisms and defenses from other contemporary sources.
