The republican writing of the English revolution has attracted a
major scholarly literature. Yet there has been no single treatment
of the subject as a whole, nor has it been adequately related to
the larger upheaval from which it emerged, or to the larger body of
radical thought of which it became the most influential component.
Commonwealth Principles addresses these needs, and Jonathan Scott
goes beyond existing accounts organized around a single key concept
(whether constitutional, linguistic or moral) or author (usually
James Harrington) to analyse this body of writing in full context.
Linking various social, political and intellectual agendas
Professor Scott explains why, when classical republicanism came to
England, it did so in the moral service of an explicitly religious
revolution. The resulting ideology hinged not upon political
language, or constitutional form, but Christian humanist moral
philosophy applied in the practical context of an attempted radical
reformation of manners.
