The First Whigs : The Politics of the Exclusion Crisis, 1678-1683 Hardback
by J. R. Jones
Hardback
Description
The Exclusion Crisis was an attempt to bar the King from ascending the throne.
The author sets the crisis in its historical perspective as part of a continuing struggle between representative government and monarchial absolutism.
The Whigs emerge as a highly disciplined political group who, after winning only a partial victory, were betrayed by a corrupt leader, and fell into disunity.
