| Abstract
|
:
|
This is a study of the Diggers or 'True Levellers', who were one of the radical groups to emerge during the English Revolution. In April 1649 the Diggers, inspired by Gerrard Winstanley, began their occupation of waste land in Surrey and called on all poor people to join them or follow their example.
