2.5(5)

Richard Hewlings examines Anne as the last monarch to rule England before the creation of Great Britain in 1707. The book follows her accession after the Revolution settlement, her reliance on intimate court relationships and the political pressures surrounding a Protestant succession.

Anne’s reign encompassed the War of the Spanish Succession, the union of England and Scotland and the emergence of fierce party conflict between Whigs and Tories. Hewlings considers how illness, repeated pregnancy loss and disputes over ministers intersected with a reign of major constitutional and military consequence.
