Making of a Great Power Late Stuart and Early Georgian Britain, 1660-1722

The fruit of a lifetime's work by one of the country's leading historians, this is history writing on a grand scale. By the 1790s Britain was constitutionally united and newly established as a major European power - in marked contrast with the England of the 1660 Restoration, shakily emerging from the upheavals of the Civil Wars. Geoffrey Holmes' important study shows how this transformation came about.Holmes, Geoffrey is the author of 'Making of a Great Power Late Stuart and Early Georgian Britain, 1660-1722' with ISBN 9780582484399 and ISBN 0582484391.
