"James II, the last of the Stuart monarchs, reigned for only three years (1685-88). Lacking the charisma of his father, Charles I, he was not a popular monarch. Yet if the king misunderstood his subjects, they too held misconceptions about him. In this biography, John Miller reassesses James II and his reign, arguing that he had many laudable attributes - he was brave, loyal, honourable and hard-working. Yet his conversion to Catholicism fuelled the distrust of his Protestant subjects and left him vulnerable to the Dutch invasion fleet led by William of Orange in the autumn of 1688." "Miller discusses the human failings, the gulf in understanding between the king and his subjects, and the sheer bad luck that led to his downfall. He explores James's relations with state and society, focusing on the political, diplomatic and religious issues that shaped his reign."--Jacket.

Trois révolutions de la liberté propose les éléments d’une histoire politique comparée des trois grandes traditions politiques — anglaise, américaine, française —, d’où est sorti le monde de la « démocratie libérale ». La voie anglaise doit d’abord être comprise à partir des particularités du droit anglais, qui a fait naître un type original de rationalisation du droit et du pouvoir étatique. Elle s’est traduite aussi par une histoire religieuse originale et par la découverte précoce de ce que les divisions partisanes pouvaient apporter à une société libre. Depuis Tocqueville, les États-Unis apparaissent classiquement comme le laboratoire de la démocratie moderne, dont les effets se déploieraient pleinement du fait de l’absence d’héritage aristocratique et de la prédominance de l’esprit « démocratique » sur l’esprit « révolutionnaire » mais l’Amérique a dû elle aussi affronter, au moment de la guerre de Sécession, une crise violente qui a fait apparaître des oppositions comparables à celles qui ont déchiré la France révolutionnaire et c’est des États-Unis démocratiques que sont sortis, à la fin du XXe siècle, de nouveaux courants radicaux. Avant d’être celle de la Terreur, la Révolution française est celle des droits de l’homme mais, comme l’avait bien vu Hegel, son développement heurté et tragique peut lui-même être interprété comme l’expression d’une dialectique qui est déjà présente dans les principes et dans le « superbe lever de soleil » de 1789. Pour le meilleur et pour le pire, la démocratie française est donc bien toujours l’héritière de la Révolution — et de l’Ancien Régime : on verra ici que, sur des questions non négligeables pour l’humanité moderne, cet héritage violent a pu aussi être la source d’une modération paradoxale, et d’une version civilisée du progrès démocratique. L’histoire des révolutions démocratiques est donc une histoire vivante, et l’inépuisable dialogue entre les traditions qui en sont issues est une des conditions de notre liberté.

This is the first extensive account of royal propaganda in England between 1689 and 1702. It demonstrates that the regime of William III did not rely upon legal or constitutional rhetoric as it attempted to legitimate itself after the Glorious Revolution, but rather used a protestant, providential and biblically-based language of 'courtly reformation'. This language presented the king as a divinely-protected godly magistrate who could both defend the true church against its popish enemies, and restore the original piety and virtue of the elect English nation. Concentrating upon a range of hitherto understudied sources - especially sermons and public prayers - the book demonstrates the vigour with which these ideas were broadcast by an imaginative group of propagandists enabling the king to cope with central political difficulties - the need to attract support for wars with France and the need to work with Parliament.

The period between the late sixteenth and the early eighteenth centuries was one of tremendous, and ultimately decisive, shifts in the balance of political, military and economic power in both Europe and the wider world. Spain's overwhelming dominance in the 1580s seemed unassailable, yet by the Peace of Utrecht in 1713 its greatness had been eclipsed, leaving supremacy to Britain, France and, in the commercial sphere, the Dutch. In these essays (five of which are previously unpublished) Jonathan Israel argues that Spain's efforts to maintain her hegemony continued to be centred on the Low Cou
