あらすじ・解説
In the village of Putney in 1647 a radical idea was born out of radical times. England had just endured five years of civil war. The king was under house arrest, and Parliament was clueless about the next steps. They certainly didn’t anticipate demands from sections of the army and their civilian supporters calling for democracy, religious tolerance, and equality under the law. Whilst it’s unimaginable for French schools to omit the 1789 Revolution or for American high schools to skip the Wars of Independence, here in the United Kingdom the Putney Debates are largely forgotten but arguably just as important, maybe more so.
