The Principle of Mutual Support’
Friendly societies gave working people an element of security through mutual insurance against sickness, while also offering opportunities for regular, sometimes ritual-based, sociability. Their history has often been viewed as a part of labour history and dominated by the associational patterns of skilled men. More recently much has been done by social historians to explore friendly societies as fraternal associations through which different kin…
Leonore Davidoff and the Founding of Gender & History
Political ideas of enlightenment women
Remembering Leonore Davidoff (1932-2014)
This appreciation looks at the life of Leonore Davidoff (1932–2014), an influential figure in the development of gender and women's history in Britain, from the 1970s
The Reputation of William Cullen (1710 – 1790)
Recent work by medical historians has demonstrated how John Thomson and his sons wrote their biography of William Cullen in the light of nineteenth-century medical concerns, though that biography remained silent on Cullen's personal life. A deliberate decision was made by John Thomson and the Cullen family to obscure the painful aftermath of Cullen's death. In spite of his distinction and his substantial income from books, teaching, and consultat…
Elementary Principles of Education’
Both Maria Edgeworth and Elizabeth Hamilton drew extensively on Scottish moral philosophy, and especially on the work of Dugald Stewart, in constructing educational programmes that rested on the assumption that women, and especially mothers, were intellectually capable of understanding the importance of the early association of ideas in the training of children's emotions and reasoning powers. As liberals they found in Stewart's work routes towar…
Twenty Years On
This article reproduces contributions to a panel discussing the early days of the Women's History Network (UK), delivered to its twentieth-anniversary conference. The introduction explains the panel's purpose and contributors' methodologies. The context of the network's formation, touched on in discussion, is then described and common themes identified before transcripts of the individual contributions are reproduced
Adaptations
This paper notes and explores the attraction of Dugald Stewart's moral philosophy for women readers and a few women writers. Student lecture notes reveal the chronological development of his ideas, as he drew upon the works of Thomas Reid, Adam Smith, and Adam Ferguson, and responded to political events. Particular attention is paid to Stewart's comments relating to women and gender, through discussions of education, the institution of marriage, …
The Cambridge Companion to British Literature of the French Revolution in the 1790s
The French Revolution ignited the biggest debate on politics and society in Britain since the Civil War 150 years earlier. The public controversy lasted from the initial, positive reaction to French events in 1789 to the outlawing of the radical societies in 1799. This Cambridge Companion highlights the energy, variety and inventiveness of the literature written in response to events in France and the political reaction at home. It contains thirt…
Introduction
For historians, the six decades spanning the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century seem pivotal to the emergence of modernity. For Eric Hobsbawm, they formed an ‘age of revolution’; for Christopher Bayly, they witnessed a ‘world crisis’ and a series of ‘converging revolutions’; Reinhart Koselleck has described them as a ‘ Sattelzeit (saddle period) during which modern ways of thinking took shape against a backdrop of a…

At Home with the Empire
This pioneering 2006 volume addresses the question of how Britain's empire was lived through everyday practices - in church and chapel, by readers at home, as embodied in sexualities or forms of citizenship, as narrated in histories - from the eighteenth century to the present. Leading historians explore the imperial experience and legacy for those located, physically or imaginatively, 'at home,' from the impact of empire on constructions of woma…

Women and the Public Sphere
In Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the contrast between ‘public’ and ‘private’ worlds drew not on one, but on multiple, contrasts. However, recognising such variations does not necessarily provide us with new analytical tools. This article examines some of the ways in which twentieth‐century commentators have attempted to categorise these contrasts. In particular the article critically engages with Habermas's definition of…

After the Scottish Enlightenment
Many historians have speculated and generalized about the legacy of the Scottish Enlightenment to nineteenth century politics, social science, economics: but few have been able to go beyond illustrating the education of leading nineteenth century politicians at the feet ofDugald Stewart. These two volumes both make a case for the continuing importance of aspects of eighteenth century Scottish social theory, transmitted and amended through the emi…
