The History of England, from the Accession of James II — Volume 5 by Macaulay
"The History of England, from the Accession of James II — Volume 5" by Lord Macaulay is a historical work published in 1848. This volume concludes Macaulay's innovative chronicle of England's transformation between 1685 and 1702, spanning James II's reign through the Glorious Revolution and William III's rule. Blending dramatic classical style with factual scholarship, Macaulay presents a confident vision of England's progress toward constitutional balance and freedom. His celebrated prose champions
what became known as the Whig interpretation of history, though later critics questioned his one-sided portrayal of heroes and villains. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
