For two hundred years historians have viewed England’s Glorious Revolution of 1688–1689 as an un-revolutionary revolution—bloodless, consensual, aristocratic, and above all, sensible. In this brilliant new interpretation Steve Pincus refutes this traditional view.
By expanding the interpretive lens to include a broader geographical and chronological frame, Pincus demonstrates that England’s revolution was a European event, that it took place over a number of years, not months, and that it had repercussions in India, North America, the West Indies, and throughout continental Europe. His rich historical narrative, based on masses of new archival research, traces the transformation of English foreign policy, religious culture, and political economy that, he argues, was the intended consequence of the revolutionaries of 1688–1689.
James II developed a modernization program that emphasized centralized control, repression of dissidents, and territorial empire. The revolutionaries, by contrast, took advantage of the new economic possibilities to create a bureaucratic but participatory state. The postrevolutionary English state emphasized its ideological break with the past and envisioned itself as continuing to evolve. All of this, argues Pincus, makes the Glorious Revolution—not the French Revolution—the first truly modern revolution. This wide-ranging book reenvisions the nature of the Glorious Revolution and of revolutions in general, the causes and consequences of commercialization, the nature of liberalism, and ultimately the origins and contours of modernity itself.

The discussions on origins of revolutions and chapter on the foundation of Bank of England are worth a read, other parts are perhaps of more interest to historians of the era.
想了想就光荣革命的解读我最近印象深刻的书中，有那么三本，保罗.兰福德《日不落帝国兴衰史(十八世纪英国)》、Tim Harris《Revolution：The Great Crisis of the British Monarchy, 1685-1720》和Steve Pincus《1688：The First Modern Revolution》，看得出来作者很受煎熬，字...

光荣革命的正本清源之作。力纠辉格党叙事之偏宕，以Modernization of State为主线，一手澄清「革命」，另一手描摹「现代」，从而论证光荣革命实为世界范围内第一场现代革命。对于仍沉浸于1688年光荣革命想像的政治宪法学界而言，尤资借鉴。

对于historiography不够熟悉，所以不能完全理解作者的野心和该书的价值。

光荣革命的最新解读。视角上很有启发：空间上将光荣革命放在欧洲（而非英伦半岛）天主教内部争端的背景下去理解，时间上将17世纪中期一系列关于宗教、政治和社会的讨论包含进来，论证光荣革命的“新”在于此次革命并非是新与旧之争，而是两种同样“新”的观念试图向社会证明自己的优越性；但这一特点并未使其完全成为历史的转折点，相反，视其为两段历史的连接点更准确。（最后不得不感叹，研究欧洲史需要背负的意识形态包袱真是... 光荣革命的最新解读。视角上很有启发：空间上将光荣革命放在欧洲（而非英伦半岛）天主教内部争端的背景下去理解，时间上将17世纪中期一系列关于宗教、政治和社会的讨论包含进来，论证光荣革命的“新”在于此次革命并非是新与旧之争，而是两种同样“新”的观念试图向社会证明自己的优越性；但这一特点并未使其完全成为历史的转折点，相反，视其为两段历史的连接点更准确。（最后不得不感叹，研究欧洲史需要背负的意识形态包袱真是很少很轻，唉～） (展开)

一定程度上解决了我之前看书时的很多疑问。只是作者略显激进步子迈的有点大，给我感觉是化身斗士画个靶子一路怼过去了。感悟见长评。
