“The great theme of modern British history is the fate of freedom. The 18th century inherits, after the Civil War, this very peculiar political animal. It's not a democracy, but it's not a tyranny. It's not like the rest of the world, the rest of Europe. There is a parliament, laws have to be made, elections are made.” WorldMadeWarLawPoliticalAnimalHistoryDemocracyFateModernCenturyEuropeElectionBritishTyrannyCivil WarThemePeculiarParliamentBritish History18th CenturyPolitical Animals Author:Simon Schama
