Abstract

Much has been written about the fall of Robert Harley in 1708, little about the fall of the Godolphin ministry in 1710. Yet a comparison of the two events casts a flood of light upon the nature of politics in the reign of Queen Anne. This is especially true if the historian asks the question: why did Robert Harley succeed in 1710 where he failed in 1708? For succeed he assuredly did in 1710 and fail he certainly did in 1708. On the first occasion he suffered loss of office and humiliation; two years later he drove Godolphin and the Whigs from office bag and baggage.

戈多尔芬部的垮台

关于1708年罗伯特·哈雷的倒台，已经有很多报道，而关于1710年戈多尔芬部倒台的报道却很少。然而，对这两件事的比较，让人们对安妮女王统治时期的政治本质有了大量的了解。如果历史学家问这样一个问题，这一点尤其正确：为什么罗伯特·哈雷在1710年取得了成功，而在1708年却失败了？1710年他肯定成功了，1708年他肯定失败了。第一次，他失去了职位，受到了羞辱；两年后，他把戈多尔芬和辉格党人从办公室的行李袋里赶走。

期刊介绍： The official publication of the North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS), the Journal of British Studies, has positioned itself as the critical resource for scholars of British culture from the Middle Ages through the present. Drawing on both established and emerging approaches, JBS presents scholarly articles and books reviews from renowned international authors who share their ideas on British society, politics, law, economics, and the arts. In 2005 (Vol. 44), the journal merged with the NACBS publication Albion, creating one journal for NACBS membership. The NACBS also sponsors an annual conference , as well as several academic prizes, graduate fellowships, and undergraduate essay contests .
