From restoration to reform: the British Isles 1660-1832

Trama

'It is hard to write the history of the British Isles in these years as anything other than a success story.' In reality, nothing about these successes was preordained. In the mid seventeenth century the British Isles were marginal to Europe. A warring group of islands, frequently the scene of catastrophe, they counted for less than the sum of their parts.
