Alex Craven's Research Interests
On this series of pages, you can find out a little bit more about my current research, my past studies, and about early-modern Britain in general.
I studied for my PhD in the Department of History at the University of Manchester. My thesis title was Coercion and Compromise: Lancashire Provincial Politics and the Creation of the English Republic, 1648-1653.
 Henry Ireton (1611-1651) My previous works were That Cunningest of Machiavellians: Henry Ireton and the Politics of the English Revolution (MA thesis: Manchester, 2000) and The Regime that Historians Forgot? The Commonwealth of England, 1649-1653 (BA thesis, Manchester Metropolitan University, 1999).
 Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) As you can see, my particular interests lie with mid-seventeenth century Britain, the period of the British Civil Wars and Republic. However, I am interested generally in the political, religious and military history of Early Modern Europe. As well as the British Revolution, I find the Reformation and Seventeenth Century France absorbing.
