Parliament Prynne, William Constitutionalism History ab: This article examines the historiography of J. H. Hexter's 'middle group', arguing that current trends in historical scholarship have revived the need for a convincing scheme of faction in the Long Parliament. Hexter's evidence is discussed, and his supporters and critics addressed, before the hypothesis of a moderate, secular, constitutionalist lobby is subjected to scrutiny through a tract by William Prynne, commissioned by the Commons at the height of middle group 'ascendancy'. In light of this, it is argued that Prynne represents a body of opinion within the Commons that was radical, religious and essentially Anglo-Saxon, which has implications for neo-whig, bicameral and 'Three Kingdoms' interpretations alike. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2020 Institute of Historical Research. item: Historical Research holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2016 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
