a Selection of Leveller Tracts (1638-60)
In Chronological Order

[Created: 5 Dec. 2020]

This is a part of a collection of material about and by the Levellers.

 

The 300 or so texts in this collection are my personal selection from the Thomason Tracts catalog of Leveller and other pamphlets, previous anthologies, and my reading of the secondaruy literature.

Contents

  • When the month of publication is not known it is indicated thus, 1638.??, and the item is placed at the top of the list for that year.
  • If the author is not known but authorship is commonly attributed by scholars, it is indicated thus, [Lilburne].
  • Some tracts are well known and are sometimes referred to by another name, such as [“The Petition of March”].
  • For jointly written documents the authoriship is attributed to "Several Hands".
  • Anon. means anonymous
  • some tracts are made up of several separate parts which are indicated as sub-headings in the ToC
  • The dating of some Tracts is uncertain because the Old Calendar (O.S.) was still in use.
