This book examines republicanism in an Anglo-American and European
context from the execution Charles I to the publication of Tom
Paine's Common Sense. t gives weight not only to the thought of the
theorists of republicanism but also the practical experience of
republican governments in England, Geneva, the Netherlands, and
Venice. The first six chapters of the book, along with David
Wootton's Introduction, consider the meaning of republicanism and
its historiography. From its theoretical conception to its
historical development, contributors examine how thinkers the likes
of Hobbes and Montesquieu discussed the key issues of virtue,
commerce, and liberty in conjunction with republicanism, and to
what extent republicanism was an inheritor of or departure from
classical ideals. In the latter chapters of the book, contributors
turn their attention from theory to application, turning to look at
the experiences of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century republics
such as Geneva, the Netherlands, and Venice.
