The idea of the long eighteenth century (1660-1832) as a period in
which religious and political dissent were regarded as antecedents
of the Enlightenment has recently been advanced by several
scholars. The purpose of this collection is further to explore
these connections between religious and political dissent in
Enlightenment Britain. Addressing the many and rich connections
between political and religious dissent in the long eighteenth
century, the volume also acknowledges the work of Professor James
E. Bradley in stimulating interest in these issues among scholars.
Contributors engage directly with ideas of secularism, radicalism,
religious and political dissent and their connections with the
Enlightenment, or Enlightenments, together with other important
themes including the connections between religious toleration and
the rise of the 'enlightenments'. Contributors also address issues
of modernity and the ways in which a 'modern' society can draw its
inspiration from both religion and secularity, as well as engaging
with the seventeenth-century idea of the synthesis of religion and
politics and its evolution into a system in which religion and
politics were interdependent but separate. Offering a
broadly-conceived interpretation of current research from a more
comprehensive perspective than is often the case, the
historiographical implications of this collection are significant
for the development of ideas of the nature of the Enlightenment and
for the nature of religion, society and politics in the eighteenth
century. By bringing together historians of politics, religion,
ideas and society to engage with the central theme of the volume,
the collection provides a forum for leading scholars to engage with
a significant theme in British history in the 'long eighteenth
century'.
