  • The Current State of Sacheverell Scholarship

    Open AccessW A SpeckARTICLEParliamentary History2012Cited by: 2

    This article reviews the literature on the Sacheverell affair as it stood when it was delivered as a paper to the symposium held in March 2010 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of his impeachment. The basic narrative and prevalent interpretation of its significance were established by the late Geoffrey Holmes in his monograph The Trial of Doctor Sacheverell published in 1973. Holmes placed it in the context of a crisis in Church and state brou…

  • Robert Southey, Benjamin Disraeli and Young England

    Open AccessW A SpeckARTICLEHistory2010

    Although the ideology of the Young England movement has been traced to a variety of sources, the influence of Robert Southey on it has largely gone unnoticed. Yet he shared with the Young England group a penchant for the middle ages. Like them, he was not nostalgic for the medieval era just for its own sake but wished to revive its alleged sense of community to offset the perceived social alienation of the new industrial age. While a leader of th…

  • In No One's Shadow: British Politics in the Age of Anne and the Writing of the History of the House of Commons

    Open AccessD W Hayton, David Hayton et al.ARTICLEParliamentary History2009

    The publication in 1967 of Geoffrey Holmes's masterpiece, British Politics in the Age of Anne , effectively demolished the interpretation of the ‘political structure’ of early 18th‐century England that had been advanced by the American historian R.R. Walcott as a conscious imitation of Sir Lewis Namier. But to understand the significance of Holmes's work solely in an anti‐Namierite context is misleading. For one thing, his book only completed a p…

  • Editing Robert Southey's Letters

    Open AccessW A SpeckARTICLELiterature Compass2008References: 2

    The scholarly edition of Robert Southey's letters currently being prepared by co‐editors Lynda Pratt and Timothy Fulford for publication by Romantic Circles is a major desideratum. Although 7000 of his letters have survived, some 1500 remain entirely unpublished while most of those which have appeared in print were poorly edited. This has led scholars seriously astray, as an examination of Thackeray's use of Southey's correspondence demonstrates

    The early nineteenth century witnessed gladiatorial contests in print between the contributors to the conservative Quarterly Review and the radical Edinburgh Review. Among the chief protagonists of the two papers were Robert Southey, leading contributor to the Quarterly from its launch in 1809 until 1839, and Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose first contribution to the Edinburgh, on ‘Milton’, appeared in August 1825, after which he became a mainsta…
