Remembering Early Modern Revolutions is the first study of memory
in relation to the major revolutions of the early modern period.
Beginning with the English revolutions of the seventeenth century
(1642-60 and 1688-9), this book also explores the American, French
and Haitian revolutions. Through addressing these events
collectively, this volume demonstrates the interconnectedness of
these revolutions in the contemporary mind and highlights the
importance of invoking the memory of prior revolutions in order
both to warn of the dangers of revolution and to legitimate radical
political change. It also unpicks the different ways in which these
events were presented and their memory utilised, uncovering the
importance of geographical and temporal contexts to the processes
of remembering and forgetting. Examining both personal and
collective remembrance and exploring both private recollection and
public commemoration, Remembering Early Modern Revolutions uncovers
the rich and powerful memory of revolution in the Atlantic world
and is ideal for students and teachers of memory in the early
modern period.
