Introduction

This book is a collection of essays that explore themes relating to liberty, property and popular politics in England and Scotland during the period 1688–1815 in honour of H. T. Dickinson. The first section deals with politics both inside and outside of the British Parliament and offers insights on the central theme of ‘the way in which elite politics and popular politics inform, influence and interact with each other’. The second section examines ‘the ideas, principles and assumptions of those engaged in the struggle to defend, amend or radically alter the political and social order’, including Edmund Burke, William Ogilvie, Thomas Spence and James Harrington. The third and final section focuses on ‘The Long and Wide 1790s’ and covers topics ranging from sedition and sedition trials in Scotland to naval networking, William Winterbotham's imprisonment for seditious libel, and three ‘citizens of the world’: Horatio Nelson, Thomas Paine and Thomas Muir.
