William Beckford: First Prime Minister of the London Empire
This first-ever biography of William Beckford provides a unique look at eighteenth-century British history from the perspective of the colonies. Even in his own time, Beckford was seen as a metaphor for the dramatic changes occurring during this era. He was born in 1709 into a family of wealthy sugar planters living in Jamaica, when the colonies were still peripheral to Britain. By the time he died in 1770, the colonies loomed large and were cons…

By 1750, a significant number of rich planters had relocated to B ritain, and, in common with the Indian nabobs, their efforts to enter parliament aroused much adverse commentary at the election…

Dedicating the work ‘to our students’, Robert Bucholz and Joseph Ward have achieved their aim of writing an accessible work which will be of particular value to newcomers to metropolitan history. Although they modestly declare it to be a work of…
Transatlantic Man
This chapter discusses the experiences of Beckford and his family and why they merit great interest beyond the prominence of his family and its ultimate success in the mother country. Peter Beckford played a prominent part in extending the island's transatlantic interest, highlighted by the successful campaign for war with Spain in 1739. While elite Jamaicans could take much encouragement from these developments, the public and private challenges…

Finding the Middle‐Ground: The Middling Sort in the Eighteenth Century
Since the 1980s the debate on the impact of the middle classes in eighteenth‐century Britain has helped to transform current interest and thinking on the period. No consensus has been reached on the degree of social and political change at this time, but our understanding of middling experience has been enhanced by a range of new themes and approaches, the resonance of which continues to enliven the field
