James II and English Politics, 1678-1688

Michael Mullett reconsiders, in the light of recent r attlee's* and of altering perceptions of the English past, the events of the crucial years 1678-1688; from the Restoration era through the exclusion crisis, and subsequent reign of James to the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688. He focuses on the central role of James, Duke of York, and from 1685-1688, King of England, but locates the growing difficulties of his reign within the wider context of political and religious trends.Mullett, Michael is the author of 'James II and English Politics, 1678-1688' with ISBN 9780415090421 and ISBN 0415090423.
