The study of eighteenth century history has been transformed by the
writings of John Brewer, and most recently, with The Sinews of
Power, he challenged the central concepts of British history.
Brewer argues that the power of the British state increased
dramatically when it was forced to pay the costs of war in defence
of her growing empire. In An Imperial State at War, edited by
Lawrence Stone (himself no stranger to controversy), the leading
historians of the eighteenth century put the Brewer thesis under
the spotlight. Like the Sinews of Power itself, this is a major
advance in the study of Britain's first empire.
