The Cambridge History of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions: The Enlightenment and the British Colonies
Volume I offers an introduction to the Enlightenment, which served as the shared background for virtually all revolutionary turmoil, and the American Revolution, which inaugurated the Age of Revolutions. Beginning with a thorough introduction, the volume covers international rivalry, the importance of slavery, and the reformist mind-set that prevailed on the eve of the revolutionary era. It addresses the traditional argument on whether the Enligh…
A Tangled World: The Atlantic in the Eighteenth Century
This chapter examines the Atlantic in the eighteenth century. It begins by looking at the story of Olaudah Equiano, which reveals the barbarity of the institution of slavery and its central significance to the eighteenth century. Through the work of the enslaved and the ships that brought them to the New World, networks emerged that turned the Atlantic from a geographic space into a system. Most critically, the manner in which the Atlantic was in…
The British Atlantic on the Eve of American Independence
This chapter recasts America’s revolutionary origins as an imperial crisis brought on by changes in the Atlantic. It surveys Atlantic-wide developments over the course of the eighteenth century to suggest that the issues British Americans grappled with in the 1760s were not exceptional. The watery space was transformed by the movement of peoples, goods, and ideas for all. Slavery and the slave trade were the catalysts to systemic change. With the…
The Age of Atlantic Revolution: The Fall and Rise of a Connected World
The Age of Atlantic Revolution was a defining moment in western history. Our understanding of rights, of what makes the individual an individual, of how to define a citizen versus a subject, of what states should or should not do, of how labor, politics, and trade would be organized, of the relationship between the church and the state, and of our attachment to the nation all derive from this period (c. 1750–1850). This book shows that the Age of…

Disentangling the Atlantic: A Primer for Imperial Reform
This chapter discusses how the War for the Atlantic led to far-reaching discussions of how to rationalize the Atlantic system, to make it comprehensible and manageable. Reformers hoped that the tangled nature of a system they saw as inherently anarchic could be made straight along national lines. In so doing, all peoples were using the concepts they had at hand to try to order and rationalize a world which they saw as unregulated, but in which th…

Imperial Confusion: America’s Post-colonial and Post-revolutionary Empire
This essay explores the question of whether we should consider the newly-independent United States an ‘empire.’ It does so by discussing emerging schools of thought that have suggested that the post-revolutionary state was more powerful than we had previously reckoned, as well as those that argue that the new state, though efficacious, is best considered post-colonial in its international standing and in its fit in a global political economy. To …
The Expanding Blaze: How the American Revolution Ignited the World, 1775-1848
With The Expanding Blaze Jonathan Israel has written an unapologetically contentious book with a deep sense of purpose. The subtitle says it all. The Expanding Blaze argues that the American Revolution “ignited” a series of revolutionary movements across the Atlantic world, including most notably the French Revolution, as well as rebellions in the Netherlands, Greece, Ireland, and a host of other places. The “how” in the subtitle is the point Isr…

The People with No Name: Ireland's Ulster Scots, America's Scots Irish, and the Creation of a British Atlantic World, 1689-1764
More than 100,000 Ulster Presbyterians of Scottish origin migrated to the American colonies in the six decades prior to the American Revolution, the largest movement of any group from the British Isles to British North America in the eighteenth century. Drawing on a vast store of archival materials, The People with No Name is the first book to tell this fascinating story in its full, transatlantic context. It explores how these people--whom one v…

The People with No Name: Ulster's Migrants and Identity Formation in Eighteenth-Century Pennsylvania
P ENNSYLVANIA'S defy simple explanation. Indeed, even the term Scots-Irish causes concern. The men and women who sailed from Ulster to Pennsylvania and peopled the frontier during the eighteenth century did not use the label, nor did their neighbors. Historians created the name to reflect the hybrid origins of an American group that left Ireland but descended from Scots. Although contemporaries used ScotchIrish to describe the group, settlers fro…
The Contemporary Presidency: Managing White House-Congressional Relations: Observations from Inside the Process
This article examines the relationship between the president and Congress. Using the authors' experience working for Congress and for the Bush and Clinton White House Offices of Legislative Affairs, the article suggests several additional factors that should be added to an explanation of the relations between the president and Congress. These include the importance of reciprocity between the president and members of Congress, the dynamic nature o…

Defining the Limits of Britishness: The “New” British History and the Meaning of the Revolution Settlement in Ireland for Ulster's Presbyterians
Irish historian A. T. Q. Stewart has aptly described the world inhabited by eighteenth-century Ulster Scots as one of “hidden” significance. Compared to the rise of the Ascendancy and the repression of Catholics under the penal code, the story of Ulster's Presbyterians figures as interesting, albeit less significant, marginalia. While a few studies detail the handicaps the group suffered in the years after the Williamite Settlement, their eightee…

A latent trait method for measuring a dimension in second language proficiency
In this paper it is argued that classical test theory and correlational techniques such as factor analysis have been unable to deal with many of the measurement problems that arise in the language area. As an alternative, the Partial Credit model, a latent trait model for the analysis of data scored in ordered categories, is used as the basis for the construction and analysis of an oral interview test of English as a second language. The test is …
An algorithmic approach to prescriptive assessment in English as a Second Language
This paper discusses the development of an interview test of proficiency in the 0 to 1 + range on the Australian Second Language Proficiency Rating Scale. Items were written toward 29 specified objectives using specially developed algorithms. These were then trialled on 253 students from the Adult Migrant Education Program in Melbourne. The data were analyzed using the Rasch Partial Credit model and trial forms were brought onto a common scale (I…
