| Summary |
"William Pitt and National Revival" by J. Holland Rose is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the political career of William Pitt the Younger, particularly his contributions to national revival up until the rising tensions with Revolutionary France. The book promises to delve into Pitt’s life and significant impact on British history during a pivotal era marked by political, financial, and social upheaval. The opening of the book introduces the context in which Pitt emerged as a political figure. It describes the grim state of Britain at the end of the American War, detailing the struggles and challenges faced by the nation, including financial burdens and a complex political landscape. It outlines Pitt's rise to prominence as he took office during a time of crisis and national distress, setting the stage for an examination of his policies and leadership in navigating the tumultuous years that followed. The narrative hints at the revolutions—both political and industrial—that would shape the modern world, framing Pitt as a key player in this transformative period.
