Located in the crowded center of seventeenth-century London, the
rough community of Coleman Street Ward was a hotbed of political
and religious unrest. There among diverse and contentious groups of
puritans a seething republican underground developed as the
political means to a more perfect Protestant Reformation. But while
Coleman Street has long been recognized as a crucial location of
the English Revolution, its importance to events across the
Atlantic has yet to be explored. In Fire under the Ashes, John
Donoghue recovers the lasting significance of the radical ideas of
Coleman Street Ward by exploring their wider Atlantic history and
revealing how republican radicals redefined themselves against the
emergent economy of empire. While some prominent revolutionaries
led England's imperial expansion by investing deeply in the slave
trade and projects of colonial conquest, other Coleman Street
puritans crossed and recrossed the ocean as colonists and
revolutionaries, circulating new ideas about the liberty of body
and soul. These radicals promoted social justice as the cornerstone
of a republican liberty opposed to both political tyranny and
economic slavery, and their efforts, Donoghue argues, provided the
ideological foundations for the abolitionist movement that swept
the Atlantic world over a century later.
