Presidential Address. Revise that Syllabus: Malthus and the Historical Imagination
This article was presented as the Presidential Address at the North American Conference on British Studies in Baltimore in November 2023
The Invention of Scarcity: Malthus and the Margins of History
With the publication of Essay on the Principle of Population and its projection of food shortages in the face of ballooning populations, British theorist Thomas Robert Malthus secured a leading role in modern political and economic thought. This book reveals how canonical readings of Malthus fail to acknowledge his narrow understanding of what constitutes food production. The book returns to the eighteenth-century contexts that generated his argu…

Imperial Wine: How the British Empire Made Wine's New World by Jennifer Regan-Lefebvre
Academic monographs about commodities generally distinguish themselves from the commercial genre by offering more than entertainment for the curious. Sven Beckert’s Empire of Cotton: A Global History (New York, 2014) and Erika Rappaport’s A Thirst for Empire: How Tea Shaped the Modern World (Princeton, 2017) wielded the might of significant economic and political research within their pages, even if the footnotes were neatly stowed out of sight a…
The Rule of Law in History
Every work of history depends on a story one chooses to tell; even those historians who reject narrative history engage with accounts that begin somewhere in a dialogic past. Carolyn Steedman has worked hard on the side of making historians aware of the simple fact of their choices. Story lines have consequences, sometimes dramatic, within the lived experiences of people in the past, particularly those who have been marginalized by capitalism. St…
P riya S atia . Empire of Guns: The Violent Making of the Industrial Revolution
On a recent Google search for an image of a seventeenth-century German-made flintlock pistol (a weapon similar, incidentally, to the one pictured on the dust jacket of the book under review), I found myself bombarded by aggressive pop-ups and sales pitches. “Steampunk Supermarket” and “Dark Web Armoury” appeared alongside antique markets and military heritage links, triggering alarm in the security settings of my laptop. I simply wanted to create…
Prophetic Sons and Daughters: Female Preaching and Popular Religion in Industrial England
In a study important to the fields of women's studies and English literature, as well as to the religious and social history of Britain, Deborah Valenze argues the significance of a cottage-based evangelicalism that responded to the transformation of England in the nineteenth century. She goes beyond previous treatments of popular religion by offering a glimpse into the lives of humble people for whom a domestic form of religion became the focal …

Prophecy and Popular Literature in Eighteenth-Century England
Until recently, chapbooks lay in the domain of Victorian antiquarians and bibliographers. Few persons have ever taken them seriously. Not even their original owners could mention them without showing embarrassment and adding that they had abandoned the pamphlets for more respectable reading. A half-century later, Victorian collectors called them ‘quaint’ and ‘peculiar’. Successive generations of historians failed in trying to date them and determ…
