| Summary | "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 61, No. 378, April, 1847" by Various is a historical magazine written in the mid-19th century. This volume features a commentary on the letters and speeches of Oliver Cromwell, edited by Thomas Carlyle, providing a critical examination of Cromwell's character and the political climate of his time, particularly focusing on Puritanism and the impact of Cromwell's actions on English history. The opening of this magazine presents a detailed critique of Carlyle's portrayal of Cromwell. It highlights the exaggerated worship of Cromwell as a hero while simultaneously questioning the sincerity of his religious convictions and motivations. The commentary navigates through the complexities of Cromwell's character, asserting that while he was a devout Puritan and a man of decisive action, his methods and fervor often bordered on fanaticism. The analysis sets the tone for a deeper exploration of Cromwell’s legacy, revealing the tension between his ideals and the harsh realities of his political maneuvers during a tumultuous period in British history.
