A Glorious Liberty: The Ideas of the Ranters
The Ranters formed the extreme left wing of the sects which came into prominence during the English Revolution. Heretical, impassioned, possessed: their contemporaries accused them of spending their time “in drunkenness, uncleanness, blasphemous words, filthy songs, and mixt dances of men and women stark naked”
They were fiercely repressed by the authorities.
AL Morton recounts the ideas, activities and fate of these intriguing 17th Century mystical anarchists.
A5, 56 pages.
