Its success might have established communal property, a far wider democracy in political and legal institutions, might have disestablished the state church and rejected the protestant ethic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe World Turned Upside Down\u003c\/i\u003e Christopher Hill studies the beliefs of such radical groups as the Diggers, the Ranters, the Levellers and others, and the social and emotional impulses that gave rise to them. The relations between rich and poor classes, the part played by wandering 'masterless' men, the outbursts of sexual freedom, the great imaginative creations of Milton and Bunyan - these and many other elements build up into a marvellously detailed and coherent portrait of this strange, sudden effusion of revolutionary beliefs.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48185228624030,"sku":"UBD-9780141993133","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141993133.jpg?v=1787486397","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141993133","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
