John Brewer has tranformed the study of eighteenth century British
history, and with his most recent book, "The Sinews of Power, " has
challenged its most central concepts. Brewer puts forth a Britain
forced to pay the costs of war in defense of a growing empire, with
the power of the state increasing dramatically. As laissez faire'
drops away, a stronger, more centralized and powerful Britian
emerges.
In "An Imperial State at War, " edited by Lawrence Stone (himself
a figure of controversy), the leading historians working on the
eigteenth century put the Brewer thesis to the test. Like "The
Sinews of Power" itself, this is a major advance in the study of
first period empire.
