Power, principle, and religion collide in the making of modern Britain. The past feels sharply present. In this fourth instalment of David Hume's great narrative history of England, the turbulent world of early modern England history comes into focus: the Stuart period, shifting court alliances, bitter religious division, and the long struggle between Crown and Parliament over liberty, obedience, and the limits of power. Written with lucid prose and wry intelligence, it stands as both a classic British history book and a penetrating study of seventeenth century England studies, where political theory, everyday faith, and dynastic ambition reshape the English state and its monarchy. Long recognised as a landmark of Enlightenment scholarship, Hume's History remains an essential academic history reference book: controversial in places, always readable, and still central for anyone interested in English monarchy history, Stuart period England politics, English Civil War history, or the debates that culminated in the glorious revolution 1688 history. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal for history students building a complete history of England collection, as well as general readers and classic-library enthusiasts assembling a David Hume history collection, it offers both intellectual depth and lasting bookshelf presence.
