As its subtitle says, The World Turned Upside Down is a study of radical ideas that appeared in England during the English Revolution or Civil War of the 1640s and 1650s. When reading this book, keep in mind that Christopher Hill applies a Marxist interpretation to history, so he is looking for signs of class struggle and attempts by the lower classes to end the control or oppression exercised by the social elite. He sees the rise of early capitalism during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a cause of social change that made the English Civil War possible while prompting lower class opposition to both Royalist and conservative Parliamentary governments.
