The Language of Liberty 1660–1832: Political Discourse and Social Dynamics in the Anglo-American World, 1660–1832

Description

This book creates a new framework for the political and intellectual relations between the British Isles and The united states in a momentous period which witnessed the formation of brand new states on both sides of the Atlantic and the extinction of an Anglican, aristocratic and monarchical order. Jonathan Clark integrates evidence from law and religion to show how the dynamics of early brand new societies were essentially denominational. In a study of British and American discourse, he shows how rival conceptions of liberty were expressed within the conflicts created by Protestant dissent’s hostility to an Anglican hegemony. The book argues that this model provides a key to collective acts of resistance to the status quo all over the period. The book’s final section specializes in the defining episode for British and American history, and shows the way in which by which the American Revolution will also be understood as a war of religion.
