Spark in the Ashes: The Pamphlets of John Warr

At the height of the English Civil War, a time when society seemed to many to be on the brink of a radical transformation, a man named John Warr produced three pamphlets which attempted to articulate what he referred to as the "people's rights". The vision of a just and self-governing society for which the radicals of the New Model Army believed they were fighting is crystallized by war into a set of principles based on rational law and consensual government. This is a complete edition of Warr's known writings.
