Whig and Marxist interpretations of history are both teleological. Whigs see history as a progression towards liberal capitalist democracy, while Marxists see history as the progress towards Communism. For both, the English Civil War (or English Revolution) is integral. Whigs see it as the moment when parliament overthrew primitive monarchy for Liberty and freedom. England made a decisive move from tyranny. Early historians include S.R. Gardiner and Trevelyan. Lawrence Stone continued the Whig interpretation through the 1970s and 80s (although he started as a Marxist in a generation that included the Titan E. P. Thompson). Whigs tend to stress politics over economics.

Marxists see it as the revolution of the bourgeoise. This event, however, was a necessary moment. This may seem contradictory, but it is not. History moves in stages, and capitalism must proceed communism (at least as far as British historiography is concerned). Important Marxist historians include R. H. Tawny and Hill. Marxists stress economics over politics.

Both of these interpretations have fallen out of favor, and we've witnessed the rise of revisionism. It's influenced by theories increasing rejection of the meta-narrative. They stress there was no single or ascendant cause for war, and war or revolution was by no means inevitable. Much of revisionist work focuses on local or county monographs that examine facts on the ground. After all, if history moves according to logical, deterministic principles then facts on the ground should adhere to Whig or Marxist ideology. They are very much concerned with how contemporaries saw the war, and that is the lens through which we should understand these events. Revisionists do no seem the development of history as teleological. Just because history happened a certain way does not mean that is the way it had to happen.

My favorite early-modern British Revisionist historian is Alastair Bellany. T.C.W Blanning is an important historian as well.

This answer is extremely simplified, and I'd love for someone at a desktop to chime in here. Writing on mobile is not east.
