James II and English Politics 1678-1688
ISBN: 9780415090421 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michael Mullett reconsiders, in the light of recent scholarship and of altering perceptions of the English past, the events of the crucial years 1678-1688: from the Restoration era, through the exclusion crisis, and subsequent reign of James to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. He focuses on the central role of James, Duke of York, and from 1685-1688, King of England, but locates the growing difficulties of his reign within the wider context of political and religious trends.

Private alliances and exchange of favours permeated political, social, economic, and artistic life in early modern Europe.
