About the book

Macaulay's History of England from the Accession of James II is a sweeping account of one of the most important periods in British political history. Beginning with the reign of James II, Macaulay traces the religious and constitutional conflicts that eventually led to the Glorious Revolution. The narrative follows the arrival of William of Orange, the fall of James II and the establishment of a new political settlement in which the powers of the monarchy were increasingly constrained by Parliament. Famous for its energetic prose and memorable character portraits, the work remains a classic of nineteenth-century historical writing.
