Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | ""Changing perspectives" in current scholarship on the Revolution of 1688 are beginning to revise the so-called "Whig view" which has been accepted for almost three hundred years. In an effort to advance this process of revision, this volume of novel and interdisciplinary essays offers new interpretations of the Revolution of 1688-89 and of the late Stuart and early Hanoverian world from an international and an English domestic perspective." "By employing some newly recovered or hitherto neglected material, and by dealing with little-explored issues from the perspectives of British, Dutch, and colonial American history, and of British political and religious history and theory, literature, law and women's history, the contributors broaden the context in which the Revolution is usually placed and in doing so unite multiple disciplines. Several overriding conclusions emerge. The Revolution was more complex and subtle in process, ideology, settlement and result than has been acknowledged previously. A lively print culture assured the circulation and importance of political and religious ideas. Radical as well as conservative ideas survived. The unfolding of the Revolution contained many contingent variables; there was nothing predictable or preordained about it. The events of 1688-89 comprised many revolutions that were played out differently and perceived differently from the vantage points of high or popular culture or in the contexts of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, and the American colonies."--BOOK JACKET. |
