This book explores the evolution of British identity and
participatory politics in the 1790s. Wil Verhoeven argues that in
the course of the French Revolution debate in Britain, the idea of
'America' came to represent for the British people the choice
between two diametrically opposed models of social justice and
political participation. Yet the American Revolution controversy in
the 1790s was by no means an isolated phenomenon. The controversy
began with the American crisis debate of the 1760s and 1770s, which
overlapped with a wider Enlightenment debate about transatlantic
utopianism. All of these debates were based in the material world
on the availability of vast quantities of cheap American land.
Verhoeven investigates the relation that existed throughout the
eighteenth century between American soil and the discourse of
transatlantic utopianism: between America as a physical,
geographical space, and 'America' as a utopian/dystopian
idea-image.
