	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Whig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The formal name of the Whigs was originally the Country Party (as opposed to the Tories, the Court Party); this was changed in the 19th Century to the Liberal Party (and the Tories to the Conservative Party).
		The Whigs were those who supported the exclusion of James II and VII from the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland (the "Petitioners") and the Tories were those who opposed it (the Abhorrers).
		The Whig view led to serious distortions in later views of 17th century history, as Macaulay and his followers attempted to fit the complex factional politics of the Restoration into the neat categories of early 19th century political divisions.

	Winston Churchill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		the boundary between Poland and the Soviet Union and between Germany and Poland, was viewed as a betrayal in Poland during the post-war years, as it was established against the views of the Polish government in exile.
		Churchill's histories of the two world wars are, of course, far from being conventional historical works, since the author was a central participant in both stories and took full advantage of that fact in writing his books.
		Events viewed by today's historians as being of central importance, such as the industrial revolution, are scarcely mentioned.

	In Defence of Hilaire Belloc by Dennis Barton
		His aim was to startle readers with a new view of history so as to provoke them to think critically and study sources instead of accepting the interpretations of their professors.
		Belloc was a pioneer in exposing 'The Whig view of history' ((ANW 320)).
		The basic view of those concerned with the paper was that the party political system, as represented by the then Conservative and Liberal parties, was a facade.

	SHAKSPER: Submitted Papers
		Since both rhetoric and history had strong moral emphasis, it may be said that the universities were to a great extent schools of Stoic virtue.
		Although anthropology and social history may predict the moral values of Shakespeare's society, Stoic literature will give us a better fix, for, not only was Stoic literature deeply imbedded in English life but Stoicism conveniently invents, systematizes, defines, and exemplifies the terms by which it may be best discussed.
		During this period history in general, and especially Plutarch's Lives, was packaged as a series of moral exempla.

	H.G. Wells: The False Prophet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Nevertheless, there was a difference between the classical Whig liberalism of the 19th century and the socialism that Wells came to expound.
		Wells embodied his belief in the backwardness and impotence of religion in the character of a hysterical curate, a "spoilt child of life" whose "rigidity of mind" prevented him from thinking intelligently, and an inferior human who is killed indirectly by the narrator.
		As in the old Whig tradition of history to which Wells was so attached, the Catholic Church appears throughout the centuries as the "reactionary" enemy to Progress, as opposed to the "living and progressive Protestantism" that emerged in opposition to it.

		Always searching for a church rooted in history, I had noticed that whenever I asked Grace Brethren leaders about the origins of that denomination, their answers were evasive.
		Indeed, the more I studied nineteenth-century church history, the more I realized that the fundamental defects in the Modern Project that I had discovered through my own reading of history were recognized remarkably well by Pius IX and Leo XIII, while ignored, for the most part, by Protestants.
		Viewed as a Constantinian betrayal of Anabaptist origins by the post-World-War-II Concern Movement, whose members had come to dominate the Mennonite intellectual landscape by the 1970s.

		Even if you have an argument with the observation that history is biography, certainly history comes alive through personalities engagingly presented.
		In books of this kind - histories presented through the eyes of one or a group of persons - it is often the case that the personalities become subsumed in dates and facts.
		On the otherhand, I doubt if this work will satisfy the hard core reader of history any more than it will satisfy the reader who is wanting a cozy sort of read...it sort of falls in the middle somewhere.
