| | Whig - Art History Online Reference and Guide |
| | It was around this time that the great Whig historian Thomas Babington Macaulay began to promulgate what would later be coined the Whig view of history, in which all of English history was seen as leading up to the culminating moment of the passage of Lord Grey's reform bill. | | | While the Whigs (along with the Tories) are often described as one of the two political parties in late 17th to mid 19th century Great Britain, it is more accurate to describe them as loose political groupings or tendencies. | | | Particularly after the Jacobite Uprising of 1715 discredited much of the Tory party as traitorous Jacobites, the Whigs became the dominant party of government. |
