Una "revoluctione senza essempio". La Gloriosa Rivoluzione nelle carte di Carlo Ottone Proconsole genovese (1688-1689)

Description

The book reconstructs the events of the revolutionary biennium in England (1688-1689), based on the unpublished correspondence of the proconsul Carlo Ottone resident of the Republic of Genoa in London from 1670 to 1698 and other documentation of the period. We analyze the general aspects of the international context in which there is the Republic of Genoa in the second half of the seventeenth century, the historical events of the reign of Charles II and James II that led to the Glorious Revolution and the early years of the reign of William III d 'Orange, with particular attention to the most recent historiography on the subject.
