Books by Ruth Spalding

The diary of Bulstrode Whitelocke MP reveals sharp insights into public affairs during the Civil Wars and Interregnum. It stands alongside the diaries of Pepys, Evelyn, and Josselin as a major source for the study of seventeenth-century politics and society.

Brings together papers from various sources, form an archive - quite separate from Bulstrode Whitelocke's Diary. This book includes about 1000 names from the Diary, and assembled biographical details that elucidate the Diary references. Many entries shed light on the politics of the period, since Whitelocke knew all the characters personally.
