The English republican tradition and eighteenth-century France
offers the first full account of the role played by seventeenth-
and eighteenth-century English republican ideas in
eighteenth-century France. Challenging some of the dominant
accounts of the republican tradition, it revises conventional
understandings of what republicanism meant in both Britain and
France during the eighteenth century, offering a distinctive
trajectory as regards ancient and modern constructions and
highlighting variety rather than homogeneity within the tradition.
Hammersley thus offers a new and fascinating perspective on both
the legacy of the English republican tradition and the origins and
thought of the French Revolution. The book focuses on a series of
case studies, featuring such colourful and influential characters
as John Toland, Viscount Bolingbroke, John Wilkes and the Comte de
Mirabeau. This book will thus be of value to all those interested
in the fields of intellectual history and the history of political
thought, seventeenth and eighteenth-century British history,
eighteenth-century French history and French Revolution studies. --
