Early Modern Liberalism rediscovers an important phase in the
development of liberal thought. Despite the fact that 'liberalism'
as a term was not applied to political thought or political parties
in England until late in the eighteenth century, Annabel Patterson
argues that its central ideas were formulated by
seventeenth-century English writers in defiance of their society's
norms, and then transmitted to the American colonies. The author is
particularly concerned with the means and agents of transmission,
with those who ensured that the liberal canon would be preserved,
expanded, republished and dispersed; for example, the
eighteenth-century philanthropist Thomas Hollis, among whose heroes
were Milton, Marvell, Locke and Algernon Sidney. Framed by chapters
on Hollis and Adams, this book shows what early modern liberals had
in common and reopens the transatlantic conversation that began in
the seventeenth century.
