Los trabajos reunidos en la colección HISTORIA DE LOS MOVIMIENTOS SOCIALES tienen un protagonista: las masas. El análisis de los movimientos sociales ha impulsado el desarrollo de una disciplina -la historia social- ritualmente invocada, a partir de 1930, como parte de la historia economica y social. Esta rama historica se ha convertido en campo privilegiado de convergencia de la antropologia, la sociologia y la historia. Su metodologia ofrece la variedad y amplitud propias de una disciplina en rapida gestacion, nutrida por polemicas fructiferas. Dentro de la Revolucion inglesa de la mitad del siglo XVII que condujo al triunfo de la etica protestante -la ideologia de las clases poseedoras- latia amenazadora otra y muy diferente revolucion. Su victoria podria haber establecido la propiedad comunal y una democracia mucho mayor en las instituciones politicas y legales; podria haber acabado con la Iglesia estatal y arrinconado la etica protestante. En esta obra Christopher Hill estudia las creencias de grupos radicales como los diggers, los ranters, los levellers y otros, y los impulsos sociales y emocionales que dieron origen a su aparicion. Las relaciones entre las clases ricas y las pobres, el papel que representaron los errantes hombres sin amo, los estallidos de libertad sexual y blasfemia deliberada, las grandes creaciones imaginativas de Milton y Bunyan: estos y muchos otros elementos componen un cuadro asombrosamente detallado y coherente de esta extraña y repentina eclosion de creencias revolucionarias. No se trata de un panorama de la revolucion burguesa que tuvo lugar de hecho, sino del impulso hacia un trastornamiento mucho mas fundamental de la sociedad.

Explores the visionary, mystical, and ecstatic traditions that influenced the music of the 1960s Examines the visionary, spiritual, and mystical influences on the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, the Incredible String Band, the Left Banke, Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, and others Shows how the British Invasion acted as the detonator to explode visionary music into the mainstream Explains how 1960s rock and roll music transformed consciousness on both the individual and collective levels The 1960s were a time of huge transformation, sustained and amplified by the music of that era: Rock and Roll. During the 19th and 20th centuries visionary and esoteric spiritual traditions influenced first literature, then film. In the 1960s they entered the realm of popular music, catalyzing the ecstatic experiences that empowered a generation. Exploring how 1960s rock and roll music became a school of visionary art, Christopher Hill shows how music raised consciousness on both the individual and collective levels to bring about a transformation of the planet. The author traces how rock and roll rose from the sacred music of the African Diaspora, harnessing its ecstatic power for evoking spiritual experiences through music. He shows how the British Invasion, beginning with the Beatles in the early 1960s, acted as the detonator to explode visionary music into the mainstream. He explains how 60s rock and roll made a direct appeal to the imaginations of young people, giving them a larger set of reference points around which to understand life. Exploring the sources 1960s musicians drew upon to evoke the initiatory experience, he reveals the influence of European folk traditions, medieval Troubadours, and a lost American history of ecstatic politics and shows how a revival of the ancient use of psychedelic substances was the strongest agent of change, causing the ecstatic, mythic, and sacred to enter the consciousness of a generation. The author examines the mythic narratives that underscored the work of the Grateful Dead, the French symbolist poets who inspired Bob Dylan, the hallucinatory England of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper, the tale of the Rolling Stones and the Lord of Misrule, Van Morrisons astral journeys, and the dark mysticism of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground. Evoking the visionary and apocalyptic atmosphere in which the music of the 1960s was received, the author helps each of us to better understand this transformative era and its mystical roots.

This illuminating collection of essays assesses the seventeenth century, interpreting what used to be called The Puritan Revolution, the ideas which helped to produce it and resulted from it, and the relation between these ideas and the political and economic events of the day. Each essay approaches the subject from a different angle, looking at aspects of the revolution - whether religious, constitutional, economic or biographical - in conjunction with a lively sympathy for the men who lived in that revolutionary time. Analysing the writings of Marvell, Hobbes, Harrington and Samuel Richardson, as well as less respectable writers, Professor Hill examines the legacy of the Reformation and the inspiration provided by ideals like the Brotherhood of Man and the desire to re-create a pre-Norman Golden Age. A book that no serious student of our history should miss; it is a treasury of interesting detail and strong ideas, CV Wedgwood.
