  • Radical Republicanism in England, America, and the Imperial Atlantic, 1624-1661
    RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 by John Donoghue B.A., Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA, 1993 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 1999 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Faculty of Arts and Sciences This dissertation was presented by John Donoghue It was defended on December 2, 2005 and approved by William Fusfield, Associate Professor, Department of Communication Janelle Greenberg, Professor, Department of History Jonathan Scott, Professor, Department of History Dissertation Director: Marcus Rediker, Professor, Department of History ii Copyright by John Donoghue 2006 iii RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 John Donoghue, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, April 30, 2006 This dissertation links the radical politics of the English Revolution to the history of puritan New England. It argues that antinomians, by rejecting traditional concepts of social authority, created divisive political factions within the godly party while it waged war against King Charles I. At the same time in New England, antinomians organized a political movement that called for a democratic commonwealth to limit the power of ministers and magistrates in religious and civil affairs. When this program collapsed in Massachusetts, hundreds of colonists returned to an Old England engulfed by civil war. Joining English antinomians, they became lay preachers in London, New Model Army soldiers, and influential supporters of the republican Levellers. This dissertation also connects the study of republican political thought to the labor history of the first British Empire.

  • Moorgate Area Enhancement Strategy Initiation Report
    Committee(s): Date(s): Planning & Transportation - For decision 13/09/2016 Streets & Walkways Sub - For decision 27/09/2016 Subject: Moorgate Area Enhancement Strategy Public Report of: The Director of the Built Environment For Decision Summary An area-based approach for the City’s public realm is set out within the City Public Realm SPD, adopted in July 2016 (Appendix 1). Area Enhancement Strategies have been approved for all except 4 of the 16 City districts, one of which is the Moorgate area. Moorgate is undergoing significant change at present. There are a number of developments within the area that are recently completed, consented or currently under consideration (Appendix 2), many of which have an impact on the adjacent public realm. The creation of a new Crossrail station in Moorgate and Moorfields and associated development will lead to a sharp increase in pedestrian numbers, along with a likely increase in development pressure as a result of the improved connectivity. In addition to this, the emerging proposals for the Cultural Hub to the west mean that there is now an increasing emphasis on the quality of the walking and arrival experience. It is proposed to develop an area enhancement strategy for the Moorgate area in order to provide a framework for future public realm enhancements and address the needs of the changing area. There are a number of key issues that the strategy will cover: New developments in the area would benefit from a clear and coordinated design approach to the adjacent public realm; There is now a greater understanding of the implications of Crossrail on pedestrian flows that requires a review of footway capacity and key junctions; There is a need to develop a greater sense of place around Moorgate, which is a Principal Shopping Centre, in order to enhance its future vitality and role within the City.
