Sadly in almost her last full-length history before her untimely death, Professor Jardine - an inspirational communicator and a renowned historian - tells the less well known story of the Dutch coup d'état that brought William and Mary to the English throne in 1688 in a somewhat muddled fashion. The historical narrative becomes quite difficult to follow through her constantly moving backwards and forwards in time and between England and Holland.
