Stephen B. Baxter
Stephen Bartow Baxter was an American historian specialising in late seventeenth and early eighteenth century English history.
He was educated at Harvard University and Trinity College, Cambridge before working at Dartmouth College and the University of Missouri. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1959-1960, for which he spent seven years researching his biography of William III of England.
His biography of William III remains the standard scholarly study, and projects a highly favorable view of the king Of England, 1689-1702:
Works
- The Development of the Treasury, 1660-1702.
- William III and the Defense of European Liberty, 1650-1702.
- England's Rise to Greatness, 1660-1763.
