1714 was a revolutionary year for Dissenters across the British
Empire. The Hanoverian Succession upended a political and religious
order antagonistic to Protestant non-conformity and replaced it
with a regime that was, ostensibly, sympathetic to the Whig
interest. The death of Queen Anne and the dawn of Hanoverian Rule
presented Dissenters with fresh opportunities and new challenges as
they worked to negotiate and legitimize afresh their place in the
polity. Negotiating Toleration: Dissent and the Hanoverian
Succession, 1714-1760 examines how Dissenters and their allies in a
range of geographic contexts confronted and adapted to the
Hanoverian order. Collectively, the contributors reveal that though
generally overlooked compared to the Glorious Revolution of 1688-9
or the Act of Union in 1707, 1714 was a pivotal moment with far
reaching consequences for dissenters at home and abroad. By
decentralizing the narrative beyond England and exploring
dissenting reactions in Scotland, Ireland, and North America, the
collection demonstrates the extent to which the Succession
influenced the politics and touched the lives of ordinary people
across the British Atlantic world. As well as offering a thorough
breakdown of confessional tensions within Britain during the short
and medium terms, this authoritative volume also marks the first
attempt to look at the complex interaction between religious
communities in consequence of the Hanoverian Succession.
