I've just discovered Rose Macaulay's 'They Were Defeated' following an interest in Robert Herrick, the cavalier poets and the English Civil War. Only now, discovering it as a student but re-reading it after many years, do I realise how interesting it is. Glad to discover something else by her.

I should add that before this, I read for the third time The King's General by Daphne Du Maurier, which is also set in the Civil War period using the author's own house as a location. It's a wonderful evocation of the period. Her house was built in 1600 with a secret staircase!
