Praise for this book
"De Krey puts forward arguments which will be of interest to the Levellers' most devoted scholars. ... The detail and scope of Following the Levellers is extraordinary. It is as much a major study of 17th-century radical political and religious culture and identity as it is a re-evaluation of the Levellers per se. ... The [volume] is thoughtfully structured and the straightforwardness of the prose is effective." (Edward Legon, Parliamentary History, Vol. 38 (3), 2019)
