Lockeian liberalism” and “classical republicanism”
The contest between “Lockeian liberalism” and “classical republicanism” as explanatory frameworks for the intellectual history of the American Revolution, and therefore of the present-day United States, has been one of the longest running and most distinguished in recent U.S. historiography. It also has major implications for the history of political thought in the North Atlantic Anglophone world more widely. Yet this debate was merely suspended …
How Did the American Revolution Relate to the French? Richard Price, the Age of Revolutions, and the Enlightenment
Richard Price (1723–91) is important in present-day historiography chiefly for the interpretation of two great revolutions, the American and the French. Recent studies have depicted him as insightfully forward-looking, a well-informed cosmopolitan, his thought providing an interpretive key to the Age of Revolutions, and so as a landmark figure of a singular Enlightenment. They have paid insufficient attention to his identity as a theologian, a We…
Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine (1737–1809) was England’s greatest revolutionary: no other reformer was as actively involved in events of the scale of the American and French Revolutions, and none wrote such best-selling texts with the impact of Common Sense and Rights of Man . None combined his roles as activist and theorist, or did so in the ‘age of revolutions’, fundamental as it was to the emergence of the ‘modern world’. But his fame meant that he was taken up…
Discourses and their Exponents
Chapter 3 surveys a number of themes, issues, and campaigns to discern how far Paine fits within each: populist language, universal suffrage based on natural rights, the abolition of poverty, women’s emancipation, anti-slavery, cosmopolitanism, Irish emancipation, and the championing of ‘revolution’ as such. In case after case, it finds that Paine’s position has been exaggerated or misconceived. His language was carefully contrived, and his rheto…
Very Different, But Much the Same
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose is arguably a comment for which the English language needed no equivalent. Other peoples are overwhelmed by war, revolution, catastrophe of every sort; the English, and historians such as Geoffrey Elton, preferred to see their polity as dating from Athelstan in 927, and their social life as embodying long continuities compared with their afflicted neighbours in Europe. But are these preferences valid? By c…
The Enlightenment and Why It Still Matters, by Anthony Pagden
‘The Enlightenment’ was a term of historiographical art, gradually naturalised in English language usage from the late nineteenth century, widely popularised only from the mid-twentieth in order to create genealogies for modern social and intellectual crusades. Since, in the eighteenth century, ‘enlightenment’ was familiar but ‘the Enlightenment’ was unknown, the latter term can be made to mean whatever a present-day author wishes. Here, Anthony …

Culture and Liberty in the Age of the American Revolution, by Michal Jan Rozbicki
‘The liberty argument’, Michal Jan Rozbicki rightly asserts, ‘exploded with great force at the start of the American Revolution, and almost immediately became the symbol of the entire contest with Britain’. This book’s object is to recover ‘the eighteenth-century American sense of liberty’, and how that sense changed over time. Its central argument, subtly explored in Chapter One, is that ‘liberty’ was still understood in an older intellectual se…
Secularization and Modernization
This historiographical review offers a critical reconsideration of a central component of modernization theory: the model of secularization devised within the sociology of religion, and especially the version sustained by sociologists in the UK. It compares that model with the results of historical research in a range of themes and periods, and suggests that those results are now often radically inconsistent with this sociological orthodoxy. It c…

What is Social History
Ever since its elevation to the status of a disdpline, and the emergence of a hierarchically organised profession, history has been very largely concerned with problematics of its own making. Sometimes it is suggested by ‘gaps’ which the young researcher is advised by supervisors to fill; or by an established interpretation which, iconoclastically, he or she is encouraged to challenge. Fashion may direct the historians’ gaze; or a new methodology…
