Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This challenging and original study examines the most important aspects of popular political culture in eighteenth-century Britain.

The second part shows how the British people became increasingly politicised during the eighteenth century and how they tried to shape or defend their political world.

Book Synopsis Politics and the Nation by : Robert Harris
Download or read book Politics and the Nation written by Robert Harris and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-01-03 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presents a new picture of political life in mid-eighteenth century Britain, a period of history which is poorly understood. Written in a clear, accessible style, and drawing on much original material, this book argues that British politics and political culture in the mid eighteenth century have often been poorly understood through over-emphasis on 'stability'. Using a thematic approach, it reconstructs a political world in which vital issues continued to exercise the minds and emotions of those who made up the contemporary 'political nation', a group which included far more than the handful of politicans who competed for national political office. This is a book which interprets its subject broadly, and which seeks to tell the stories of politics in this period through the words and projects, hopes and fears, of contemporaries . It also represents an important contribution to the difficult, but important, project of writing the history of the British Isles. Development in Scotland and Ireland are given careful attention along with those of England.

Book Synopsis Liberty and Property by : H T Dickinson
Download or read book Liberty and Property written by H T Dickinson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1977, Liberty and Property is a pioneering book which covers a long period, from 1688 to 1790 and beyond, and makes a major contribution to our understanding of eighteenth-century British politics. The relationship between political ideas and political reality is difficult to define. Consequently, historians seldom attempt to link thought and action, but concentrate solely upon the facts of a given political situation. In this book H.T. Dickinson has succeeded in redressing the imbalance. Taking as his theme the ideas and arguments used to defend or reform the constitution and political order in Britain, he combines what men wrote and said with what they actually did. His achievement is to have opened up an entirely new avenue of eighteenth-century British political history. The author bases his study on a wealth of contemporary evidence, much of it previously untouched. It includes the treatises of all major political thinkers and propagandists, all reported parliamentary debates from 1688 to 1800, literally thousands of pamphlets, sermons, magazines and newspapers, as well as an abundance of politically conscious literature by writers such as Addison, Swift, Steele, Pope and many others. This is a must read for scholars of political history, British political history and political studies.
Book Synopsis "A Free Though Conquering People" by : Peter James Marshall
Download or read book "A Free Though Conquering People" written by Peter James Marshall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present collection brings together a series of studies by Peter Marshall on British imperial expansion in the later 18th century. Some essays focus on the thirteen North American colonies, the West Indies, and British contact with China; those dealing specifically with India have appeared in the author's 'Trade and Conquest: Studies on the rise of British domination in India'. The majority, culminating in the four addresses on 'Britain and the World in the Eighteenth Century' delivered as President of the Royal Historical Society, deal with the processes and dynamics of empire-building and aim to bring together the history of Asia and the Atlantic. The themes investigated include the pressures that induced Britain to pursue new imperial strategies from the mid-18th century, Britain's contrasting fortunes in India and North America, and the way in which the British adjusted their conceptions of empire from one based on freedom and the domination of the seas, to one which involved the exercise of autocratic rule over millions of people and great expanses of territory.
Book Synopsis Parliament and Foreign Policy in the Eighteenth Century by : Jeremy Black
Download or read book Parliament and Foreign Policy in the Eighteenth Century written by Jeremy Black and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-26 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wide range of British and foreign archival sources, this book tackles the role of Parliament in the conduct of eighteenth-century foreign policy, the impact of this policy on parliamentary politics, and the quality of parliamentary debates. It is also an important study for our assessment of eighteenth-century Britain, and also, more generally, for an understanding of the role of contingency in the assessment of political systems. Reflecting over a quarter-century of work on parliamentary sources, the book highlights the influence of Parliament, positive and negative, direct and indirect, on foreign policy and politics. It also has great contemporary relevance as we consider the effectiveness of democratic states when confronting authoritarian rivals, and the rights of representative bodies to be consulted before wars are launched.

Book Synopsis Politics and Culture in 18th-Century Anglo-Italian Encounters by : Lidia De Michelis
Download or read book Politics and Culture in 18th-Century Anglo-Italian Encounters written by Lidia De Michelis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection addresses Anglo-Italian influences, correspondences and relationships through the lens of an expansive notion of eighteenth-century political history, explored in its fecund dialogue with cultural history. Its multifaceted approach fleshes out the idea of the Enlightenment community of people linking and sharing different forms and structures of knowledge into a comprehensive picture of the Age of Reason. This book probes fields of great relevance for the cultural interpretation of historical experience, and composes a lively, and as yet unexplored, map of an interconnected European world. Anglo-Italian encounters are explored here primarily through the interweaving of political and cultural history, adding a valuable cog to contemporary insight into the cosmopolitan nature of Enlightenment Europe. The essays here range in scope from the public economy and international trade to finance, moral philosophy, the ethics and politics of translation, travel, the cosmopolitan impact of Italian music and taste, and the art of gardening.
Book Synopsis British Politics and Foreign Policy, 1744-57 by : Jeremy Black
Download or read book British Politics and Foreign Policy, 1744-57 written by Jeremy Black and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years between 1744 and 1757 were a testing time for the British government as political unrest at home exploded into armed rebellion, whilst on the continent French armies were repeatedly victorious. Providing an analytical narrative, supported by thematic chapters, this book examines the relationship between Britain’s politics and foreign policy in a period not hitherto treated as a unit. Building upon methods employed in the preceding two books (’Politics and Foreign Policy in the Age of George I, 1714-1727’ and ’Politics and Foreign Policy, 1727-44’), this volume charts the significant political changes of 1744-57. It shows how ministerial change and political fortunes were closely linked to foreign policy, with foreign policy affecting, and being affected by, political developments. In particular, it asks important questions about the politics and foreign policy of these years and thus reconsiders the context of imperial growth, economic development and political stability. Far from being simply a study of individual episodes, the book outlines the structural aspects of the relationship between foreign policy and politics, examining issues of political stability, motivation and effectiveness. In particular, the role of monarch, Court and ministers are considered alongside those of Parliament, parliamentary politics, and the public sphere of discussion, notably, but not only, the press. The book therefore offers a guided narrative that both uses and builds on the analysis offered by contemporary commentators, and provides an informed assessment of the significance of the ideas, terms and language employed in eighteenth-century Britain to discuss foreign policy and politics.
Book Synopsis The Middling Sort of People by : Jonathan Barry
Download or read book The Middling Sort of People written by Jonathan Barry and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1994-10-26 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays seeks to offer a radical re-evaluation of most of our preconceptions about the early-modern English social order. The majority of people who lived in early-modern England were neither very rich nor very poor, yet a disproportionate amount of historiography has been directed towards precisely these groups. This book intends to define the term 'middle classes' and treat them as active participants of history, rather than as a simple by-product rising and falling according to others' activities.

It shows how interaction between parliamentarians and the public sphere in different political cultures produced more modern conceptions of the legitimacy of political power.
