The Making of a Great Power: Late Stuart and Early Georgian Britain, 1660-1722Longman, 1993 - 506 strani "The later years of this period, culminating in the bitterly fought 1722 election, also foreshadowed a remarkable political change - the ending of the 'rage of party' in politics and religion which had threatened to tear the country apart, and the coming at long last of constitutional stability. But although the basic prerequisite of this development - the 'abdication' of James II, with his authoritarian ambitions and his unpopular religious beliefs - was achieved by the 1688 Revolution, it took two major wars and three rebellions (two in Scotland and one in Ireland), before the Protestant Succession was made unchallengeable." "The fruit of a lifetime's work by one of the country's leading historians, this is history writing on the grand scale."--Jacket. |
