{"product_id":"1688-the-first-modern-revolution-steve-pincus","title":"1688: The First Modern Revolution — Steve Pincus","description":"\u003cp\u003ePincus argues against the standard view of the Glorious Revolution as a conservative, bloodless transfer of power, presenting it instead as a genuine revolution — contested, violent, and transformative — that established the template for modern state formation. Drawing on English, Dutch, and French sources, he reconstructs the ideological conflict between two competing visions of the English state and shows that the outcome was far from predetermined. The book rewrites one of the most misunderstood events in English political history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"epoch-endorsement\"\u003e'A landmark work of revisionist history.
