  • The Restoration and the Reconstitution of Seventeenth‐Century English Imperial Political Culture

    Open AccessLyndal RoperARTICLEHistory2026

    This article tracks the activities of an array of ‘colonial‐imperialist’ figures to assess the effects of the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660 on the character of the English imperial polity. It advances three intertwined arguments that contradict the common view of Charles II and James II as pursuers of ‘absolutism’ bent on securing their control of a growing English Empire. Firstly, it emphasizes that the Restoration did not constitut…

  • Turbulence and the German Peasants’ War of 1524–6

    Open AccessLyndal RoperARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2025

    This article uses the lens of ‘turbulence’ to give a new perspective on the German Peasants’ War of 1524–6. It suggests that the term Aufruhr (commotion/turbulence) shaped contemporary perceptions, arguing that the peasants’ patterns of movement – spirals, circles, unpredictable shifts – were central to the revolt’s spread and power. Drawing on engineering and art, it highlights how motion itself mixed the members of the armed bands, challenged l…

  • An Atlantic Slave Trade Stretching from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and Beyond

    David Wheat, Xabier Lamikiz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Early American History2023

    The study of the trans-Atlantic slave trade is becoming increasingly sophisticated, diverse, and international. Challenging prevailing stereotypes about the dominance of northern European business interests, García Montón’s study shows the persistent vigor of Genoa’s merchant community in this examination of the asiento system that emerged in the mid-seventeenth century and continued into the mid-eighteenth century. Along the way, he also illumin…

  • Reorienting the “origins debate”

    Lyndal RoperARTICLEAtlantic Studies2022Referências: 30

    This article argues that trafficking in enslaved Africans and Natives constituted a chief element in English overseas colonization and was a primary component of English overseas trade from the mid-1610s. The managers of this commerce seamlessly translated Atlantic slavery into the Anglophone world decades before the establishment of the Royal African Company in 1672. Accordingly, there was never a transition in planter labor preferences from ind…

  • Emotions and the German Peasants' War of 1524-6

    Open AccessLyndal RoperARTICLEHistory Workshop Journal2021Citada por: 1

    This article addresses the questions of the history of emotions to the German Peasants' War of 1524-5. The biggest popular uprising in Western Europe before the French Revolution, it overturned lordship in wide areas of Germany and beyond for about three months. It transformed the character of the Reformation as Luther condemned the peasant rebels. The revolt followed an emotional arc, shaped as much by the seasons as it was by the logic of revol…

  • Oedipus and the Devil

    Lyndal RoperCHAPTERWitchcraft Reader2019

    The witchcraft confession of Regina Bartholome in 1670 is a powerful example of how early modern women could construct fantasies involving the Devil. Bartholome took in another lodger, this time a young man named Jacob Schwenreiter who was engaged to be married and who worked, like him, as a day-labourer: the two men, Schwenreiter and Bartholome, shared the marital bed. The ensuing quarrels in the Bartholomes’ house finally brought the whole hous…

    Open AccessLyndal Roper, L H RoperARTICLEThe American Historical Review2019

    During the half century between 1846 and 1896—bracketed on the one hand by the Mexican-American War, and on the other by the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy—the United States added Alta California, Texas, Alaska, and an array of Pacific islands to its territory; it “opened” Japan; and it pursued various designs in and around the Caribbean Basin. These activities—and others—brought the interests of that young country into conflict with those of…

  • Carla Gardina Pestana. The English Conquest of Jamaica

    Open AccessLyndal Roper, L H RoperARTICLEThe American Historical Review2018

    At the end of 1654, a fleet of thirty-eight English ships carrying some twenty-five hundred men made for Barbados, where it collected approximately five thousand colonial soldiers in order to undertake a “Western Design” against Spanish interests in America. The invaders attacked Santo Domingo, but this attempt miscarried, so their leaders turned their attention to Jamaica, which became the most important Anglo-American colony and a model of the …

  • Advancing Empire

    Open AccessLyndal Roper, L H RoperBOOKAdvancing Empire2017

    In Advancing Empire, L. H. Roper explores the origins and early development of English overseas expansion. Roper focuses on the networks of aristocrats, merchants, and colonial-imperialists who worked to control the transport and production of exotic commodities, such as tobacco and sugar, as well as the labor required to produce them. He is primarily interested in the relationship between the English state and the people it governed, the role of…

  • Karlstadt's Wagen

    Open AccessLyndal Roper, Jennifer SpinksARTICLEArt History2017

    This remarkable cartoon, produced by artist Lucas Cranach and the Wittenberg theology professor Andreas Karlstadt, is almost certainly the very first piece of visual propaganda for the Reformation (German version, plate 1, and earlier, damaged Latin version, plate 2).1 Karlstadt was finalizing the Latin version of his broadsheet in January 1519; the first printed image of Luther, a crude woodcut adorning a tract printed in Leipzig, did not appear…

  • The Fall of New Netherland and Seventeenth-Century Anglo-American Imperial Formation, 1654–1676

    Lyndal Roper, L H RoperARTICLEThe New England Quarterly2014

    The English takeover of the Dutch colony of New Netherland in 1664 illustrates the enduring centrality of colonial agendas in the political culture of the seventeenth-century English Empire but also provided an occasion by which the metropolitan government and its perspective ironically assumed greater weight in colonial-imperial relations

    PERHAPS THE MOST DISCONCERTING monument to the Reformation is the double statue of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon in the city market at Wittenberg.There they stand, their feet locked onto grandiose Schinkel pedestals, and can do no other, as they gaze grimly out from under their neo-Gothic baldachins.Melanchthon was an afterthought: Luther's statue was unveiled in 1821, and Melanchthon's followed a generation later in 1865, the monumental …

  • Beyond Discourse Theory

    Lyndal RoperARTICLEWomen s History Review2010Citada por: 7

    This article argues against the model of discourse analysis which currently dominates much historical writing. Starting from an archival fragment, the seventeenth‐century interrogation of a young man who attempted suicide, it explores how discourse theory can only take us so far in understanding subjectivity. The article then explores how discourse theory has influenced work on the history of witchcraft. Finally, it argues that discourse analysis…
