The Anglo-Dutch Moment

Much new research and writing on the Glorious Revolution of 168891 in England Scotland Ireland and North America and on the Dutch role in the Revolution has materialized in the last few years in connection with the tercentenary celebrations of 1988 and 1989 and the various accompanying conferences symposia and exhibitions in Britain the Netherlands and the United States. There has also been a spate of associated publications. This is however the first large-scale work to emerge from the tercentenary commemoration and the first to attempt to bring together the main strands of the new research and writing for the general reader and for the student placing the English Revolution of 168889 for the first time in its full British European and American setting and showing how fundamentally our picture of the Revolution itself as well as the Revolutionary process of 168891 as a whole is now being transformed.
