Positive Spillovers from Infrastructure Investment: How Pipeline Expansions Encourage Fuel Switching
This paper studies the role of the U.S. pipeline infrastructure in the country's transition from coal to natural gas energy. I leverage the Environmental Protection Agency's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards as a plausibly exogenous intervention, which encouraged many coal plants to convert to natural gas. Combining this quasi-experimental variation with a plant's preexisting proximity to the pipeline network, I isolate implied pipeline connection…
Transaction Theory Rebooted: What Neuroscience’s Research on Reading Means for Composition
Recent research on reading in cognitive science disproves the Common Core’s central claim that reading skills are learned most effectively when students exclude their knowledge and experience from the reading process. The discussion here is focused on how this scientific research overlaps with the transaction theory of reading and writing, and the present opportunities for renewing it
James Harrington: An Intellectual Biography, by Rachel Hammersley
Little compares to the seventeenth-century English achievement in political thought, as in other genres of writing. Even within this context the stature of James Harrington is exalted. Like Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, he aspired successfully to elevate polemic to the status of philosophy, extracting from the cure for a malady specific to one time and place universal principles of nature. Notwithstanding its baroque complexities of content, form…
How the Old World Ended: The Anglo-Dutch-American Revolution 1500-1800
How the Old World Ended: The Anglo-Dutch-American Revolution 1500-1800
Between 1500 and 1800, the North Sea region overtook the Mediterranean as the most dynamic part of the world. At its core the Anglo-Dutch relationship intertwined close alliance and fierce antagonism to intense creative effect. But a precondition for the Industrial Revolution was also the establishment in British North America of a unique type of colony — for the settlement of people and culture, rather than the extraction of things. England's re…
Archipelagic State Formation, 1578–1783
This chapter looks at how the old world ended through a sequence of republican revolutions. The Anglo-Dutch revolution of 1649–1702 was part of a broader process of Anglo-Dutch-American state-making spanning two centuries. Across the Atlantic, between the Dutch Revolt and the American War of Independence, a series of states emerged which were new not only in fact, but in nature. These were products of an Atlantic Age of Revolution which is someti…
The Empire was Unique
This chapter explores English and Dutch relationships with native peoples in Atlantic North America. In practice, these relationships were violent ones, though there were important differences. The chapter shows that only English settlement became the basis for a long-term, large-scale trans-Atlantic transfer of people and culture. This necessitated expropriation not only of resources but territory, a process executed where necessary with savager…
How the Old World Ended: The Anglo-Dutch-American Revolution, 1500-1800
The Americanisation of C. L. R. James
The writings of the Black Marxist-Leninist thinker and activist C. L. R. James are now widely known and studied, although most of his long career was passed in obscurity. His two most influential books, The Black Jacobins (1938) and Beyond a Boundary (1963) now have a global impact. But his work did not begin to receive wide recognition until the 1980s and 1990s. And it is the nature of that recognition, and the ends to which his work has been pu…
Unfinished family business. Algernon Sidney’s arguments with Henry Hammond, Sir William Temple, Henry Sidney, Charles II, and the public executioner
Recent work about the life and thought of the republican Algernon Sidney (1623–1683) has emphasised the formative importance of the history, intellectual culture and personal matrix of the Sidney family. This essay underlines the richness of that context by casting new light on a series of key, previously undiscussed themes. These include Sidney’s lifelong relationship with the diplomat Sir William Temple and his family; the origin of his pioneer…
Ferishta's History of Dekkan, from the First Mahummedan Conquests: Volume 2
From English to British liberty, 1550–1800
This essay was written for a symposium on Dutch conceptual history in a comparative European perspective. The concept in question here is liberty, and the context first English and then (following the creation of the United Kingdom in 1707) British. What follows primarily addresses two themes, both challenging. First, what role did the concept of liberty play over an exceptionally long and turbulent period of English history punctuated by two rev…
Ferishta's History of Dekkan, from the First Mahummedan Conquests
Serving in Bengal as a captain of the East India Company, Jonathan Scott (1753–1829) became a private Persian translator to Governor-General Warren Hastings in 1783. A gifted orientalist, he was elected a member of the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784, returned to England in 1785, and a year later published the first of his many translations, Memoirs of Eradut Khan (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection), shedding light on the Mughal…
Gender, borrowing patterns and self-employment: Some evidence for England
When the Waves Ruled Britannia: Geography and Political Identities, 1500–1800
How did a rural and agrarian English society transform itself into a mercantile and maritime state? What role was played by war and the need for military security? How did geographical ideas inform the construction of English – and then British – political identities? Focusing upon the deployment of geographical imagery and arguments for political purposes, Jonathan Scott's ambitious and interdisciplinary study traces the development of the idea …
Remnants of Scottish stone architecture in Nova Scotia
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, thousands of Scottish emigrants travelled to Canada. This paper concerns those buildings that were designed and constructed by Scottish settlers, utilising skills and materials transported from their homeland. The research concerns the extent to which buildings of those early generations of settler might still be intact, with specific reference to selected case studies from Nova Scotia. One is faced…

The working-class pedagogy, or 'resistance education' of Chris Searle; his identification of linguistic colonialism; his practice of critical literacy as embracing the lives, experiences and imaginations of his students; and the massive body of work, from Stepney Words onwards, in which he has set this down, comprise an unparalleled resource for radical educationalists seeking to develop the practice - and theory - of critical literacy and workin…
Dean Baker's war of position
The US economist Dean Baker, along with his colleagues at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, has for the last decade been waging a Gramscian 'war of position' against neoliberal orthodoxy in the US. With the collapse of the housing market bubble (which Baker predicted) and the ensuing global economic crisis, his analysis has had more of a hearing in the mainstream. According to Baker, the internationalisation and deregulation of financi…

Essay collections, including conference proceedings, are becoming harder to publish. Ashgate are to be congratulated on this volume which makes me wish I had attended the conference. It is hard for any book to convey how pivotal the 1680s were in English and European history.

Generational Changes in Attitudes to Abortion: A Cross-National Comparison
In this paper I examine generational changes in men and women's attitudes to abortion across nations and time. First, I use time-series data from British Social Attitudes and the General Social Survey of the United States to track men and women's changing attitudes. In particular, I investigate whether change is due mainly to period effects or to cohort replacement. I also compare the trajectory and pace of change in the two countries. Second, I …

What Were Commonwealth Principles
The historiography of English republicanism is dominated by the concept of classical republicanism. Its greatest shortcoming has been neglect of that subject's religious dimension. The consequent need is not simply to recover the radical protestant republican religious agenda. It is to explain why, when classical republicanism came to England, it did so in the moral service of a religious revolution. One context for the answer lay in Christian hu…

Remarx: Dynamic multiculturalism: a race-free concept of America
This essay is a criticism of the prevailing theory of multiculturalism. It focuses on the absence in the discourse of multiculturalism of the “white identity,” in particular the history of white racial oppression in U.S. society and how this system of social control continues to block a class-struggle approach to diversity and difference. An alternative theory of multiculturalism is proposed through the “hip-hop nation.” The argument is that an a…
Good Night Amsterdam'. Sir George Downing and Anglo-Dutch Statebuilding
During the eighteenth century Protestantism was not an unambiguous glue of Anglo‐Scottish integration. At the Covenanting end of Scots presbyterianism, notably among the ranks of the Cameronians and the Seceders, an alternative conception of Britishness prevailed which took its rise from the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643. Covenanting unionism was predicated on the establishment of presbyterian church government across the British Isles under…

Politics and ‘Inferno X’
Interpreters of the Divine Comedy have tended to divide themselves into two groups: on the one hand, those who recognize in Dante Foscolo's ‘Ghibellin fuggiasco’; on the other, those who believe that Dante's upbringing and political career in a Guelf city were the determining factor in the writing of his poem

Imagery in Paradiso Xxvii
The 27th canto has long been recognized as one of the dramatic highlights in Dante's Paradiso. Broadly speaking, it may be divided into three parts: St. Peter's denunciation of his unworthy successors (vv. 10–66); the return of the blessed to the Empyrean and the ascent of Dante and his guide to the Primum Mobile (67–120); Beatrice's invective (121–148). In this article, I shall be concerned with seven images—those contained in vv. 13–15; 28–36; …
Illuminated Manuscripts of the Divine Comedy
Dante's Admiral
While the two poets are still in Ante-Purgatory, Virgil speaks to Dante of the immediate reward for his difficult ascent of the Mountain of Purification; referring to Beatrice, he promises his pupil tu la vedrai di sopra, in su la vetta di questo monte, ridere e felice. (Purg. VI.47–8)

A new aesthetics of black equality: On Tony Medina
In the US today, a new generation of poets and writers of colour is taking up and moving on from the 1960s Black Arts Movement. According to Amiri Baraka, a co-founder of that movement, one of its pitfalls was an inadequate critique of 'race' at the expense of a class understanding of oppression. Subsequent critical discussion has done little to correct this, despite the crucial links between class and race made by Malcolm X shortly before his de…

Langston Hughes - Patternmaster
In the US academy Langston Hughes is considered a great `folk poet'. This specialist sort of literary designation is not wrong; the problem is that it has come to replace the more historically accurate and generalist description of Hughes as one of the most well-rounded writers and intellectuals of the twentieth century. Outside the United States, Hughes is usually ranked alongside Eliot and Yeats, both in terms of overall intellectual influence …
