Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have viewed England's Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689 as an un-revolutionary revolution--bloodless, consensual, aristocratic, and above all, sensible. Steve Pincus refutes this traditional view. He demonstrates that England's revolution was a European event, that it took place over a number of years, and that it had repercussions in India, North America, the West Indies, and throughout continental Europe. His rich narrative, based on new archival research, traces the transformation of English foreign policy, religious culture, and political economy that, he argues, was the intended consequence of the revolutionaries of 1688-1689. James II's modernization program emphasized centralized control, repression of dissidents, and territorial empire. The revolutionaries, by contrast, took advantage of the new economic possibilities to create a bureaucratic but participatory state, which emphasized its ideological break with the past and envisioned itself as continuing to evolve. All of this, argues Pincus, makes the Glorious Revolution--not the French Revolution--the first truly modern revolution.--From publisher description.

Book Synopsis The Bloodless Revolution by : Stuart E. Prall
Download or read book The Bloodless Revolution written by Stuart E. Prall and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Glorious Revolution of 1688 represented a crucial turning point in modern British history by decisively shifting political power from the monarchy to Parliament. In this cogent study, first published in 1972, Stuart Prall offers a well-balanced account of the Revolution, its roots, and its consequences. The events of 1688, Prall argues, cannot be viewed in isolation. Examining the tempestuous half-century that preceded and precipitated William and Mary's accession, he provides a comprehensive overview of the Revolution's context and of its historical meaning. "[Prall] insists that the Revolution of 1688 was the culmination of a long crisis begun back in 1640, and the revolution settlement was the resolution of problems which the Puritan Revolution and the Restoration had left unsolved. This is an admirable combination of analysis, commentary upon views of historians, and chronological narrative, starting with the Restoration in 1660 and continuing through the Act of Settlement in 1701."--Choice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History the Revolution in England in 1688: Comprising a View of the Reign of James II. From His Accession, to the Enterprise of the Prince of Orange Sir James Mackintosh has been described by others, and by himself, as indolent and dilatory at every period of his life. A curious instance of this disposition is related of him on the occasion of taking his degree. He not only put off the writing of his thesis to the last moment, but was an hour behind his time on the day of examination, and kept the academic senate waiting for him m full conclave. The latter instance, not so much of indolence as of gross negligence and bad taste on the part of a student, and of patient condescension on the part of the professors, is scarcely credible.

Book Synopsis The Glorious Revolution by : Edward Vallance
Download or read book The Glorious Revolution written by Edward Vallance and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1688, a group of leading politicians invited the Dutch prince William of Orange over to England to challenge the rule of the catholic James II. When James's army deserted him he fled to France, leaving the throne open to William and Mary. During the following year a series of bills were passed which many believe marked the triumph of constitutional monarchy as a system of government. In this radical new interpretation of the Glorious Revolution, Edward Vallance challenges the view that it was a bloodless coup in the name of progress and wonders whether in fact it created as many problems as it addressed. Certainly in Scotland and Ireland the Revolution was characterised by warfare and massacre. Beautifully written, full of lively pen portraits of contemporary characters and evocative of the increasing climate of fear at the threat of popery, this new book fills a gap in the popular history market and sets to elevate Edward Vallance to the highest league of popular historians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Revolution to Revolution (1973) examines England, Scotland and Wales from the revolution of 1688 when William became King, to the American Revolution of 1776. In this period lies the roots of modern Britain, as it went from being underdeveloped countries on the fringe of European civilization to a predominating influence in the world. This book examines the union of the island, development of an organized public opinion and national consciousness, as well as Parliament and its factions, the landed and business classes. Views on religion, art, architecture and the changing face of the countryside are also examined, as is the tension between London and the rest of the island. The important issues of colonial expansions in Ireland, America, India and Africa are also analysed.

Book Synopsis The Newtonians and the English Revolution, 1689-1720 by : Margaret C. Jacob
Download or read book The Newtonians and the English Revolution, 1689-1720 written by Margaret C. Jacob and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a social history of Newtonian natural philosophy from its inception after the 1688 revolution in England until the 1720's. Ms. Jacob shows that the Newtonian world view was adopted by the Anglican church to support its own version of liberal Protestantism and its vision of a social and economic order that would be both Christian and capitalist. It was with Newton's consent, she asserts, that Newtonianism took on an ideological significance in the early Enlightenment. Using an interdisciplinary approach to subjects traditionally reserved for the history of science, church history, and intellectual history, she formulates a convincing new explanation for the triumph of Newtonianism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Revolution in England in 1688: Comprising a View of the Reign of James II, From His Accession, to the Enterprise of the Prince of Orange The Revolution now agitated France and Europe. Its principles, its pesions, and its visions, were nowhere more deeply felt than in Brabant. Mackintosh continued in the Netherlands, residing chiefly at Brussels, until the end of the year. Arrived in London at the commencement of 1790, he found himself without money or means of living. But if his residence abroad exhausted his finances, it furnished him in return with a stock of information and enthusiasm respecting foreign politics and the Revolution, which he was soon enabled to turn to account. Mr. Charles Stuart, the brother of his wife, was a contributor to the fugitive literature of the theatres and public pres of London. Mackintosh, by his advice, aspired to be come a journalist, and was introduced by him to that multifarious editor, John Bell, then editor and proprietor of a newspaper called The Oracle. The authorship of the defunct pamphlet, the adran tages of having passed the preceding year on the Continent, and the title of Dr. Mackintosh, then borne by Sir James, were imposing re commendations in the eyes of the proprietor of the journal, and he was soon installed its sole organia the departmentof foreign politics. It was agreed between the parties that the amount of remuneration should be regulated by admeasurement in the printed columns of The Oracle. Sir James, with the vigour and freshness of his youth, his Opinions, and hisfeelings, and inspired, moreover, by that which the Roman satirist ranked with Parnassus and the Pierian spring, ' was declared by the pmprietor ruinously prolific. One week his labours measured ten pounds sterling. No paper, said Mr. Bell, with frank sirnplicity, can stand this. An average was struck, and Sir James wrote at a fixed price.
