102. Radicalism in the English Revolution 1: General Introduction -- Ariel Hessayon
Charles I in Three Positions by Anthony van Dyck

Ariel Hessayon joins me to start a new series, Radicalism in the English Revolution. Before we get to all the delightful radical groups - like Diggers and Levellers - Ariel and I discuss the English revolution, whether it was a revolution, what revolution meant to them, and what it meant to be a radical at the time.

Here's an introduction to the concept of radicalism, or anarchism, in the English Revolution: https://www.everydayanarchism.com/anarchism-in-the-english-revolution/

This series will run concurrently with the Debt series, because I'm disorganized.

For a fuller account of the entire revolution, I recommend Mike Duncan's podcast series on the topic: https://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/revolutions_podcast/2013/09/001-the-kingdoms-of-charles-stuart.html
