First published in 1983, John Miller's Glorious Revolution established itself as the standard introduction to the subject. It examines the dramatic events themselves and demonstrates the profound impact the Revolution had on subsequent British history. The Second Edition contains a fuller discussion of Scotland and Ireland, the growth of a fiscal-military state and the role of religion and the Revolution.

Zusammenfassung
This edition features a fuller discussion of Scotland and Ireland and of religion and the Revolution. It examines a central paradox of the Revolution - on one hand it seemed to change little, but on the other, subsequent monarchs found it harder to exercise their surviving powers.
