Explores loyalism as a social and political force in eighteenth and
nineteenth century British colonies and former colonies. Loyalism
in Britain and Ireland, which was once seen as a crude reaction
against radicalism or nationalism, stimulated by the elite and
blindly followed by plebeians, has recently been shown by
historians to have been, on the contrary, a politically
multi-faceted, socially enabling phenomenon which did much to shape
identity in the British Isles. This book takes further this revised
picture by considering loyalism in the wider British World. It
considersthe overall nature of loyalism, exploring its development
in England, Ireland and Scotland, and goes on to examine its
manifestation in a range of British colonies and former colonies,
including the United States, Canada, India, Australia and New
Zealand. It shows that whilst eighteenth-century Anglo-centric
loyalism had a core of common ideological assumptions,
associational structures and ritual behaviour, loyalism manifested
itself differently in different territories. This divergence is
explored through a discussion of the role of loyal associations and
military institutions, loyalism's cultural and ritual dimensions
and its key role in the formation of political identities.
Chronologically, the book covers a pivotal period, comprehending
the American and French Revolutions, the 1798 Irish rebellion and
Irish Union, the Canadian rebellions of 1837, and Fenianism and
Home Rule campaigns throughout the British World. Allan Blackstock
is Reader in History at the University of Ulster and author of
Loyalism in Ireland, 1789-1829 (Boydell, 2007). Frank O'Gorman was
Professor of History at the Universityof Manchester. Contributors:
