A distinguished 20th century historian Macaulay's 19th century account of English history during the critical years 1685-1700. The result is two histories: the late 17th century triumph of Parliamentary government as seen by Macaulay's 19th century progressivism, in turn evaluated by a more skeptical 20th century.
