A scholarly and insightful analysis of the historical factors that contributed to the success of the English Revolution of the 17th century, delivered as a lecture at the University of Oxford. The author examines the ideological, social, and economic forces that shaped the political landscape of England during this time, and argues that the revolution was not an isolated event, but part of a larger European movement for freedom and democracy. Drawing on primary sources and his own vast knowledge of European history, Guizot brings a fresh perspective to a key moment in English and world history.
