God's Fury, England's Fire_ A New History of the English Civil Wars - Michael J. Braddick [354]
It would not have been possible to write this book without the award of a Major Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust, for which I am profoundly grateful. During the academic year 2005-6 I held an Elizabeth and J. Richardson Dilworth Fellowship as a Member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellowship at the Huntington Library, San Marino. My work benefited immeasurably from the opportunities provided in those admirable institutions. I am also grateful to my department at the University of Sheffield for the long period of special leave which allowed me to take up these fellowships. The shifting population of that excellent department, both staff and students, has continually stimulated my thoughts on this and all other historical subjects and for that I am also very grateful. Throughout the time I have worked on this book my research has been admirably supported by the staff of the Sheffield University Library.
The dedication of this book is a poor recompense to my family. They have, it is true, given me some insight into the creative potential of chaos, but the daily and abiding lesson has been (mercifully) in the virtues of harmony, co-operation and civil order. For that, and everything else, I am more grateful than I can say.
