The Glorious Revolution is one of the most significant period in English history. Mr. Miller’s account is concise but detailed in scope. Working with a few years perhaps makes it easier but the reality is that he demonstrates the complexity of multiple layers at work in order to show how profound the event was. The one drawback is that he has to be focused on his subject at hand. Of course, his work is a part of a seminar series on history so if one wants to explore the past and afterwards, the series will cover those. ( )
