The book explores the tumultuous political landscape of Britain between 1680 and 1720, marked by the transformative Revolution of 1688 that reshaped political obligations and established annual parliamentary sessions. It examines the challenges of ongoing wars and the slow emergence of political parties during this era. Originally presented as Ford Lectures in 1976, the work is now reissued with a new preface by Professor Kenyon, reflecting on its relevance in the context of contemporary historical analysis.
