Pocock and Meinecke, Machiavellianism and Historicism
Barbarism and Religion. Vol. VI, Barbarism
This is J.G.A. Pocock’s scholarly swansong—the conclusion not only of his long-sustained examination of the historiographical worlds of Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, but also of an unparalleled career as author of a series of seminal studies in the history of political thought and historiography. At once a discrete contribution to Gibbon studies and a summative statement of so much else that Pocock has studied during an unusually engaged and intelle…

Barbarism and Religion. Volume 5
In a review of the 1855 edition of Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, annotated by Guizot and Henry Hart Milman, Walter Bagehot retailed an anecdote from the 1780s: ‘Mr. Sheridan, who never read anything “on principle”, said that he found the crimes of Warren Hastings surpassed anything to be found in the “correct sentences of Tacitus” or “on the luminous page of Gibbon”. Some one seems to have been struck with the jet of learning, and questioned the gre…
John Jortin, Ecclesiastical History, and the Christian Republic of Letters
The writing of ecclesiastical history is rarely disinterested, and this was especially so in eighteenth-century England. Its leading practitioner, John Jortin, wrote with a clear, determined, and dynamic purpose: to offer an effective critique of orthodoxy and its ally, persecution, and to secure civil and religious liberty in a way commensurate with maintaining an established church and liberal learning. His life and writings meditated on early …
J.W. Burrow
The late John Burrow, one of the most stimulating promoters of the distinctively interdisciplinary enterprise that is Intellectual History, was a vital member of what has become known as the ‘Sussex School’. In exploring the resonances of his singular and richly idiosyncratic contribution, this article places his unique historical sensibility within a series of interpretative contexts, demonstrating the vitality of writings that will continue to …
Preludes and postludes to Gibbon
The study of historiography is undergoing a revolution akin to that which took place in the history of political thought in the 1960s, and the work of J. G. A. Pocock is central to both. Pocock's continuing exploration, in Barbarism and Religion (1999-), of the intellectual context of Gibbons History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire , is central to this enterprise, and this essay situates the origins of his own work within a pre-'Cambr…

Economy, Polity, and Society
Economy, Polity, and Society and its companion volume History, Religion, and Culture bring together major new essays on British intellectual history by many of the leading scholars of the period, continuing a mode of enquiry for which Donald Winch and John Burrow have been widely celebrated. This volume addresses aspects of the eighteenth-century attempt, particularly in the work of Adam Smith, to come to grips with the nature of 'commercial soci…
Religious History and the Eighteenth-Century Historian
The relationship between intellectual secularization and the writing of academic history has long been one of the major neglected themes in British historiography, and its unexamined presuppositions are explored here in relation to the religious history of the eighteenth century. A great deal of the history of eighteenth-century religion has been written from a confessional standpoint, and this has served further to marginalize discussion of the …
Scepticism in Excess’
Since the appearance of volume I of The decline and fall of the Roman empire in 1776, the religion of Edward Gibbon has been subject to intense debate. He has been variously identified as an atheist, a deist, even as a somewhat detached Christian. Examination of his relations, both personal and scholarly, with the varieties of religion and irreligion current in eighteenth-century Britain leads to the conclusion that he remained resolutely critica…

Christianity, commerce and the Canon
The Anglican Origins of Newman's Celibacy
In his historical defense of the doctrines of the Church of England, published in 1826, Robert Southey assumed that "the question concerning the celibacy of the clergy had been set at rest throughout Protestant Europe." The conclusion that Anglicanism necessarily entailed the rejection of celibacy was, in early-nineteenth-century England, decidedly premature, and the ambiguity over celibacy in the Church of England is starkly and exceptionally ex…
The Soul–Sleeping System’; Politics and Heresy in Eighteenth–Century England
Historians of eighteenth–century England have begun to reassess its relationship with the preceding century, creating in the process the now conventional periodisation of a ‘long eighteenth century’ from c. 1660 to 1832. Historical revisionism, however, needs constantly to be revised, and there remains the danger of creating too sharp a separation between this period and that which preceded it. This article aims to introduce just such a complicat…
