Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of political power in England, arguing from the perspective of an 18th Century gentleman who felt that the power of the growing middle class was an existential threat to the social order in England. The author highlights the deep seated changes in the way that power was wielded. The book begins with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 but gives rich historical context from the Tudor period through to the disastrous end of the American Revolution in 1783. The historical focus is on themes of political corruption, the eroding power of the monarchy, and the growing sense that the middle classes were going to flex their power in a way that would harm the nation. The author concludes with a warning that the present course of history portends a grim future for England.
