Whose Voice?
The text known as The Memoirs of Edmund Ludlow was long considered an authentic account of the English Revolution – until Blair Worden discovered Ludlow’s manuscript and recovered the regicide’s real voice. At a workshop in Newcastle we discussed the feasibility of a complete edition of this manuscript.
WS: Edmund Ludlow – The Memoirs of a Regicide in Exile
We are planning a small workshop on Edmund Ludlow’s Memoirs and his MS ‘A Voyce from the Watch Tower’ to gather ideas for a new edition of the text. You can join us at Newcastle University on 2 July – in person or via Zoom. Just get in touch.
