Abstract or Description

This article seeks to uncover the origins of the ‘Ranters ’ by examining Abiezer Coppe’s early life and social network. It suggests that Coppe’s background, experiences and milieu – particularly his Baptist phase and the associations he made during this period – are crucial to appreciate the genesis of the ‘Ranters ’. As such it should be regarded as a further contribution towards the growing consensus that the origins of ‘radicalism’ in the English Revolution are to be located in the religion of the ‘hotter sort ’ of Protestants lower down the social scale.
