Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. The Making of the Digger 3. Winstanley the Digger 4. A New Beginning? 5. Winstanley’s Legacy Notes IndexReviewsJohn Gurney's Gerrard Winstanley: The Digger's Life and Legacy is outstanding: an exciting and extremely well-written account of Winstanley's development as thinker and experimental communist, with a clear demonstration of his continuing relevance and his overlooked influence on modern social thought and art. No one knows the evidence better than Gurney and in this study he distils complex issues into a revealing and enjoyable narrative. The many years of difficult labour devoted by the author to discovering more about Winstanley's activities has resulted in this rewarding and original, acute reassessment of Winstanley's startling insights and his daring attempt to create a just, equal and free world. It is a continuing reminder of why in our world the experiences of the seventeenth century still matter. -- Nigel Smith, William and Annie S. Paton Foundation Professor of Ancient and Modern Literature, Princeton University Author InformationJohn Gurney (1960-2014) was a Visiting Fellow in the School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University and author of Brave Community: The Digger Movement in the English Revolution (2007).
