John Lilburne and the citizenship of ‘free-born Englishmen’ 1
John Lilburne was a charismatic figure who could rally impressive popular support in London. As one of the leaders of the Leveller movement, which flourished from the mid-1640s in the period of uncertainty following the end of the first English civil war, he was in and out of prison repeatedly, and communicated his experiences and his political vision in his prolific pamphlet writing. Central to these was his self-depiction as a 'free-born Englis…
Sparta and the English Republic
In 1659–60, James Harrington and Henry Stubbe, two republican authors, engaged in a bad-tempered pamphlet debate about the constitution of classical Sparta.

Questions of constitutional form were not always at the forefront of 1650s English republi…

The apparent traditionalism of his language has obscured the extent to which he developed a radical line of thought. For Lilburne, all Englishmen are ‘free-born’; his radicalism lies in his assertion that this free status is to be seen as political status. The phrase ‘free-born Englishman’ comes to be a signifier of a uniform and inclusive citize…
