Jeremy Black is Professor of History at the University of Exeter, UK.
"...it is a synthesis by a historian uniquely qualified to
synthesize, it refers to well-chosen and illustrative primary
documents, and it has the advantage of making a clear, tersely
phrased argument. Series on grand themes like dynasties can
degenerate into coffee table books permeated with nostalgic
grandeur, but this one is solid history. The volume would be
suitable for senior undergraduates and for others needing a brief
introduction, or even a refresher, of British high politics in the
long eighteenth century."- Mark F. Proudman, Canadian Journal of
History, Spring/ Summer 2006
'Jeremy Black...is a prolific author...The book should inspire
further research in other parts of the Stuart Kingdoms on the
quality of leaders and more detailed research in manuscript sourses
for contemporary observations on the men treated here.' Canadian
Journal of History, Spring-Summer, 2006 ( Based on HB edition)
