Description
James II: A Reassessment
This biography by John Miller offers a fresh perspective on the life and reign of James II, who ruled England from 1685 to 1688. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Miller explores the complex relationships between James and his subjects, including the tensions surrounding his conversion to Catholicism.
The book examines the political, diplomatic, and religious issues that shaped James's reign, as well as his human failings and the factors that contributed to his downfall. A new foreword by J.P. Kenyon assesses recent work on the subject, providing a valuable context for understanding this pivotal period in English history.
