This classic two-volume work (1954) is the most comprehensive Soviet Marxist study of the English Revolution of 1640–1660, prepared under the editorship of two leading Soviet historians: Academician Evgeny Alekseevich Kosminsky (1886–1959), a renowned medievalist and specialist in English feudalism, and Yakov Abramovich Levitsky (1912–1985), a scholar of early modern English history.
The collective monograph, written by prominent Soviet historians (including M.A. Barg, A.D. Lyublinskaya, A.N. Savin, and others), interprets the events as the first bourgeois revolution in world history, marking the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Volume 1 covers the socio-economic preconditions, the Long Parliament, the Civil Wars, and the rise of radical movements (Levellers, Diggers). Volume 2 analyzes the Commonwealth, Cromwell’s Protectorate, the Restoration, and the long-term consequences for England and Europe, with emphasis on class struggle, the role of the bourgeoisie, gentry, and popular masses.
The work reflects the official Soviet historiography of the Stalin era and early Khrushchev thaw, incorporating extensive archival sources, economic data, and polemics with Western bourgeois interpretations. It includes detailed maps, chronological tables, and documentary appendices.
A foundational text for Marxist studies of early modern revolutions, English history, and the origins of capitalism, this set remains highly valued by historians, collectors of Soviet historical scholarship, and bibliophiles interested in large-format Academy of Sciences publications of the 1950s.
