| Summary | "Oliver Cromwell" by Theodore Roosevelt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and significance of Oliver Cromwell, a pivotal figure in English history known for his role during the English Civil War and as a leader of the Commonwealth. Roosevelt examines Cromwell's complex character, the era he lived in, and the impact of his actions on the development of modern governance in England. The opening of the work outlines how Cromwell's legacy was viewed with both admiration and horror for many years following his death. Roosevelt describes the initial misunderstandings of Cromwell's influence, highlighting how later historians and writers began to reassess his role, particularly through the works of Thomas Carlyle. The text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the political, social, and religious upheavals of the time, portraying Cromwell as both a soldier and a statesman navigating the tensions between revolutionary ideals and the existing monarchical structure. The chapter hints at the significant events leading to the Civil War and introduces key themes of religious freedom and the quest for political rights, which will be expanded upon in the subsequent chapters.
