A Popular History of England, From the Earliest Times to the Reign of Queen Victoria; Vol. IV
Produced by Don Kostuch
"A Popular History of England, From the Earliest Times to the Reign of Queen Victoria" by M. Guizot is a comprehensive historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a detailed exploration of England's political and social evolution, particularly focusing on key events leading up to and including the reign of Queen Victoria. The text offers insights into the establishment of parliamentary power, the conflicts between monarchy and state, and the enduring themes of liberty and governance as they developed over centuries. The opening of this historical account introduces the transition of power during the late 17th century, particularly focusing on the reign of William and Mary after the Glorious Revolution. It discusses the abdication of King James II, the political negotiations that led to the acceptance of William of Orange as king, and the implications this had for parliamentary governance in England. Important figures such as William, Mary, and various members of Parliament engage in discussions that highlight the complexities of the political landscape, touching upon issues of religious tolerance, national rights, and the emerging sense of political accountability. This opening sets the stage for an exploration of the intricate dynamics of power and the shifting landscape of English society in a turbulent historical period.
