Críticas:

'This is a terrific collection. It succeeds in communicating the excitement of the Revolution of 1688, and just how much was at stake in this 'regime change'. It makes it possible to teach not only the Revolution of 1688 but also the entire late 17th century in a more compelling way. It also beautifully shows the connections between constitutional, economic, religious and foreign policy issues.' - Rachel Weil, Cornell University, USA

'This is an extremely impressive volume for undergraduate teaching, eminently useful both for its concise explanation of the importance of the Glorious Revolution and for its fascinating collection of documents. At the same time, it is also an important manifesto for a pioneering way of understanding the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89 that can be used to give students access to the very latest scholarship.' - Ethan Shagan, Northwestern University, USA

Reseña del editor:

England's Glorious Revolution is a fresh and engaging examination of the Revolution of 1688–1689, when the English people rose up and deposed King James II, placing William III and Mary II on the throne. Steven Pincus's introduction explains the context of the revolution, why these events were so stunning to contemporaries, and how the profound changes in political, economic, and foreign policies that ensued make it the first modern revolution. This volume offers 40 documents from a wide array of sources and perspectives. The collection provides an invaluable insight into all the key events of the period, the social and economic background, developments in political and foreign policy and the perspective of the Church. This text also examines the Eighteenth Century debates and John Locke’s writings delving into contemporary historiographical and philosophical reactions to the Glorious Revolution.
