Overview

This classic work of recent historiography broke the hold of the "old guard" on this key period of English history. It has now been extensively rewritten, and in its updated form reinforces its arguments with new evidence and addresses some of the historical preoccupations of the past fifteen years.

Editorial Reviews

"It will force a revision of most of our accepted ideas on the eighteenth century." John Kenyon

"...so thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded that it borders on being a new book. ...In addition to deleting significant blocks of material and adding much new material, Clark rearranges and carefully edits the shared material. He seems to have reconsidered every sentence, maybe even every phrase, from the first edition. Moreover, he has thoroughly considered and integrated into his text much secondary literature written since 1985 and additional primary sources as well. ...The argumentation, though less aggressive than in the earlier edition, remains brilliant." Anglican and Episcopal History

"...as bold, as brave, as exciting a book as I have read on the eighteenth century this decade. It breaks the mode of Hanoverian politics." John Morrill
