Written in a lively and engaging style, and designed to be
accessible to a broader audience, this collection combines new
research with the latest scholarship to provide a fresh and
invigorating introduction to the revolutionary period that
transformed Britain and its empire. There has been an explosion of
interest in the "Glorious" Revolution in recent years. Long
regarded as the lesser of Britain's seventeenth-century
revolutions, a faint after tremor following the major earthquake of
mid-century, itis now coming to be seen as a major transformative
episode in its own right, a landmark event which marked a
distinctive break in British history. This collection sheds new
light on the final crisis of the Stuart monarchy by re-examining
the causes and implications of the dynastic shift of 1688-9 from a
broad chronological, intellectual and geographical perspective.
Comprising eleven essays by specialists in the field, it ranges
from the 1660s to the mid-eighteenth century, deals with the
history of ideas as well as political and religious history, and
covers not just England, Scotland and Ireland but also explores the
Atlantic and European contexts. Covering high politics and low
politics, Tory and Whig political thought, and the experiences of
both Catholics and Protestants, it ranges from protest and
resistance to Jacobitism and counter-revolution and even offers an
evaluation of British attitudestowards slavery. Written in a lively
and engaging style and designed to be accessible to a broader
audience, it combines new research with the latest scholarship to
provide a fresh and invigorating introduction to the revolutionary
period that transformed Britain and its empire. TIM HARRIS is
Munro-Goodwin-Wilkinson Professor in European History at Brown
