Viac o knihe
The book presents a revisionist perspective on eighteenth-century England, arguing against the notion of a fragmented society by highlighting the widespread acceptance of aristocratic values and leadership. Professor Cannon traces the recovery of the aristocracy following the abolition of the House of Lords and their re-establishment after the Glorious Revolution. He challenges the belief that the elite was open and inclusive, suggesting instead that the English peerage was more exclusive than its continental counterparts. The work also examines the bourgeoisie's acquiescence to aristocratic rule and discusses the ideological foundations that sustained aristocratic supremacy.
