Confederal Union and Empire
Why did British politicians on both sides of the Atlantic propose a confederal rather than incorporating union in 1754? This question has been difficult to answer because most scholars have focused on the Albany Plan of Union outside of its imperial context, seeing in the plan either evidence of nascent American nationalism, a point of divergence between American and British conceptions of empire, or a missed moment to establish parliamentary sup…
Ideological Origins of the Irish Revolution
In 1782, the Irish obtained legislative and judicial concessions and liberal trade privileges from Britain. The debate over Ireland's political and constitutional status rivaled that which Bernard Bailyn made famous in Ideological Origins of the American Revolution. This essay addresses how the Irish were able to do this and why they did not declare their independence in 1782

Faire la guerre et faire l 'État
Cet article propose une critique de la pertinence de la notion d'État fiscal-militaire, en se penchant plus particulièrement sur le cas exemplaire de la Grande-Bretagne qui consacra une part significativement moindre des revenus du gouvernement au domaine militaire que tout autre État européen. En outre, il met en lumière d'autres sources de dépenses civiles importantes, notamment l'investissement massif de l'État britannique dans le développemen…
Addison's Empire
Why did whigs consider the Treaty of Utrecht to be an imperial disaster? Contemporary scholarship makes this a difficult question to answer. Imperial historians insist that it was an imperial triumph. While political historians point to rough‐and‐tumble party politics that was not about empire. This article aims to recover the rich intellectual history of party political debate about empire in the age of Anne. I suggest that there was bitter conf…
Rethinking Mercantilism
HEN Adam Smith described the “system of commerce” or “the mercantile System” that had become “the modern system” of regulation in book 4 of The Wealth of Nations, he necessarily included in his account a description of the emergence of the modern European colonial system. Just as the mercantile system was supported by the avaricious and absurd views of shopkeepers and merchants, so the Europeans sought colonies in the first instance because of “t…
Reconfiguring the British Empire
La Révolution anglaise de 1688
La plupart des récits concernant la Glorieuse Révolution affirment qu'elle fut conservatrice et sans lien avec l'économie politique. Je soutiens au contraire l'idée que les années 1688 et 1689 constituèrent une révolution radicale, et qu'un de ses aspects les plus radicaux fut la révolution qu'elle instaura dans le champ de l'économie politique. À partir des années 1650, beaucoup de whigs et de radicaux anglais ont considéré que la richesse était…
Rethinking the Public Sphere in Early Modern England
T he "public sphere" has become ubiquitous in the historiography and in historically oriented literary criticism of early modern England. In this article, we argue that the phrase does have real efficacy in discussions of early modern England. However, we want to use "public sphere" in slightly different ways than most scholars have done. In particular, we argue that a narrative of the emergence of the public sphere, in the ways we will define it…
The Glorious Revolution
England's Revolution of 1688‐89 has long been described as Glorious because it was not a Revolution. Edmund Burke set the tone for over two centuries of historiographical analysis when he proclaimed that ‘The Revolution was made to preserve our ancient indisputable laws and liberties, and that ancient constitution of government which is our only security for law and liberty.’ The English were not creating a new regime, merely restoring the old on…
