Women Worthies and Feminist Argument in Eighteenth-Century Britain
The practice of celebrating exemplary women has had a hallowed if contested place in the history of feminism, but this essay argues that recent scholarship has not recognized just how profound a role the discourse of women worthies has played in the feminist thought of eighteenth-century Britain. By examining several major texts, including Mary Astell's writings and the ‘Sophia’ tracts, this analysis demonstrates the continuity and resilience of …
The Roman Matron in Britain
Portia and Marcia
QN March 6, 1775, moments before delivering his oration commemorating the Boston Massacre, Dr. Joseph Warren changed into a Ciceronian toga, a theatrical gesture designed to reinforce the classical republican ideology underpinning his speech that morning in Boston's Old South Church. In Plymouth, Massachusetts, that same month, in a letter to her husband James Warren, Mercy Otis Warren chose to debut her Roman pseudonym, Marcia. Just how comparab…
Catharine Macaulay's Civil War
The eighteenth century marked a watershed in the relationship between women and historical writing in Britain. Previous to this period, D. R. Woolf has demonstrated, women had certainly purchased, read, and discussed works of history, contributing to “the ‘social circulation’ of historical knowledge.” A few, perhaps most notably Lucy Hutchinson, had composed Civil War memoirs. Some women had written genealogical, antiquarian, and biographical wor…
Neoclassical History and English Culture
This book looks at neo-classicism as a context for understanding early-modern English historical writing, and traces the implications of neo-classical history for English political culture at large. B
Dr Brady and the History of England
The Earl of Clarendon’s History of the Rebellion appeared to have answered neoclassical critics once and for all by repairing the weakness in English historiography. However, Englishmen recognized that only two or three decades of their history — and to many the Civil War represented perhaps the most disgraceful part of it — had been narrated in the manner of the greatest historians of ancient and modern times. As long ago as the early sixteenth …
General History in an Age of Party
While Thucydidean history suffered a lingering death in Bolingbroke’s hands, in the 1720s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, Englishmen wondered whether Livian history, too, might represent an unattainable ideal. The English party system continued to cripple histories of England, and the chance that an Englishman would write a neoclassical general history seemed ever more remote. During the second quarter of the eighteenth century the weakness in English historiog…
The Weakness in English Historical Writing
By the middle of the eighteenth century, Englishmen had complained for over two centuries about the quality of their historical writing. 1 They cared passionately about their past and were almost overwhelmed by the quantity and variety of historical works they produced, and yet the English elite insisted that it had almost no history worthy of the name, no narrative history of England written to the Olympian standards of the inventors of ‘history…
Bolingbroke, Clarendon, and the Role of Classical Historian
Two OF THE MAJOR FIGURES IN ENGLISH PUBLIC LIFE from the 1630s to the 1730s, Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon (1609-74), and Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1751), both wrote history. We have recognized for some time that Clarendon's History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England' was composed with classical models in mind, but we have lost sight of how influential these models and Clarendon's imitation became for subsequent historio…
