Summary "History of the English People, Volume VIII" by John Richard Green is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the critical period of Modern England from 1760 to 1815, examining significant events such as the American War of Independence, the rise of public opinion's influence in governance, and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. Green's work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how these events shaped English identity and its societal structures. The opening of this volume delves into the political landscape of late 18th-century England, highlighting the decline of Whig power and the increasing influence of public opinion. It discusses the Chatham ministry and the rising tensions with the American colonies that would ultimately lead to a quest for independence. As Green elaborates on this political turmoil, he reveals a nation grappling with new ideas about governance and authority, setting the stage for the societal changes that will be explored in the rest of the book. The intricate details paint a vivid picture of the conflicts and shifting powers during a pivotal time in British history, establishing a rich context for understanding the era’s lasting implications.
