This iconoclastic and satirical work offers a radical rethinking of English history between the 1600s and 1700s. It challenges traditional Marxist interpretations of the English Civil War and the so-called "English Revolution," arguing instead for a more nuanced understanding of pivotal events such as the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the Jacobite uprisings of 1715 and 1745, the American Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution. Emphasizing rebellion over revolution, the book suggests a continuity in English society rather than abrupt rupture. It also links revisionist views of both the Civil War and the Hanoverian era, serving as a companion volume to Clarks English Society 1688-1832. Essential reading for students and scholars of early modern and Georgian England, it offers a provocative alternative to established historical narratives. 182 pages. Original card covers.
