Summary:

The levellers were a crucial component of a radically democratic movement formed during the English civil wars. Much leveller activity occurred in print and their texts now form an important part of the liberal and social democratic canon. An Introduction by the editor here sets the leveller ideas in their context and, together with a chronology and short biographies of the leading figures, is essential reading for students of the English civil wars and the history of political thought.
