- This volume and its underpinning research arose from Appleby’s close collaboration with Hopper in the four-year AHRC-supported project, ‘Conflict, Welfare and Memory during and after the English Civil Wars, 1642-1710’. Appleby and Hopper established the volume’s research aim of exploring new, interdisciplinary approaches to military history by bringing together historians, scientists and medical professionals to examine ways in which military medicine and state-sponsored military welfare functioned in seventeenth-century Britain, and the subsequent effects on the political and social culture of the British Isles. They shaped the volume’s content and recruited contributors. Appleby and Hopper co-authored an introduction (8,479 words) which assessed the wider research context, appraised primary sources, and set out the case for integrating military studies (including the historical study of military medicine and welfare) more securely into mainstream academic history. Appleby and his co-editor closely curated the essays in the volume to respond to the methodological and conceptual framework outlined in the Introduction. Appleby also contributed his own chapter, ‘The third army: wandering soldiers and the negotiation of Parliamentary authority 1642-1651’, which drew on his research on local archives, state papers, plays, ballads and popular literature.
