A sweeping and enthralling journey through the birth of modern Britain, from the Glorious Revolution to the defeat of Napoleon. Revolution, the fourth volume of Peter Ackroyd's captivating History of England, begins in 1688 with a revolution and ends in 1815 with a famous victory. Ackroyd guides readers from William of Orange's accession following the Glorious Revolution to the Regency, when the flamboyant Prince of Wales ruled in the stead of his mad father, George III, and England was once again at war with France - a war that would culminate in the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo. Late Stuart and Georgian England saw the creation of the great pillars of the English state. The Bank of England was founded, as was the stock exchange; the Church of England was fully established as the guardian of the nation's spiritual life; and parliament became the sovereign body of the nation with responsibilities and duties far beyond those of the monarch. It was a revolutionary era in English letters, too, a time in which newspapers first flourished and the English novel was born. Coffee houses and playhouses boomed, gin flowed freely, and shops, as we know them today, began to proliferate in towns and villages across the country. But it was also a time of extraordinary and unprecedented technological innovation, which saw England utterly transformed from a land of blue skies and farmland to one of soot, steel, and coal.
