The English Revolution 1688-1689 by G M Trevelyan
G.M. Trevelyan's accomplishments both as an eminent scholar and as a writer of exceptional ability enabled him to write a book of two-fold importance, as a piece of literature and as an outstanding contribution to historical inquiry.
"Keep it in print! American students can read itStill by far the best value for money..."--Professor Daniel A. Baugh, Cornell University "Written in a style of great clarity and persuasiveness, this little book presents the traditional Whig view at its best--the view of Locke, Burke, and Macaulay."--The Manchester Guardian "No one is better qualified to write of the revolution of 1689 than Professor Trevelyan. In the crisp, brisk narrative...one acknowledges the hand of a master historian."--Garrett Mattingly, Saturday Review of Literature
George Macaulay Trevelyan (1876-1962) was one of the leading historians of his generation, whose books have been read by and influenced thousands of students and historians. He began his academic career in 1898 as a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, but left in 1903 to focus on his writing, and for twenty years produced a number of popular histories, including a three-volume biography of Garibaldi, English Social History and History of England. He returned to Cambridge in 1927, where he was Regius Professor of History until 1943. He was also the subject of a major biography by David Cannadine.
