  • Historical Writing in Britain from the Late Middle Ages to the Eve of Enlightenment
    Comp. by: pg2557 Stage : Revises1 ChapterID: 0001331932 Date:15/12/11 Time:04:58:00 Filepath:d:/womat-filecopy/0001331932.3D OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – REVISES, 15/12/2011, SPi Chapter 23 Historical Writing in Britain from the Late Middle Ages to the Eve of Enlightenment Daniel Woolf Historical writing in Britain underwent extraordinary changes between 1400 and 1700.1 Before 1500, history was a minor genre written principally by clergy and circulated principally in manuscript form, within a society still largely dependent on oral communication. By the end of the period, 250 years of print and steadily rising literacy, together with immense social and demographic change, had made history the most widely read of literary forms and the chosen subject of hundreds of writers. Taking a longer view of these changes highlights continuities and discontinuities that are obscured in shorter-term studies. Some of the continu- ities are obvious: throughout the period the past was seen predominantly as a source of examples, though how those examples were to be construed would vary; and the entire period is devoid, with a few notable exceptions, of historical works written by women, though female readership of history was relatively common- place among the nobility and gentry, and many women showed an interest in informal types of historical enquiry, often focusing on familial issues.2 Leaving for others the ‘Enlightened’ historiography of the mid- to late eighteenth century, the era of Hume, Robertson, and Gibbon, which both built on and departed from the historical writing of the previous generations, this chapter suggests three phases for the principal developments of the period from 1400 to 1 I am grateful to Juan Maiguashca, David Allan, and Stuart Macintyre for their comments on earlier drafts of this essay, which I dedicate to the memory of Joseph M.

  • Whig Interpretation of History
    whiginterpretation_extended.wpd 1 WHIG INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY.1 Originally readings of the past, primarily of England, that laud development of the constitution and of the concept (and institutions) of liberty; now applied as a derogative term for anachronistic or presentist views of the past. One should distinguish between the Whig partisan view of the English constitution and the Whig view of history which dominated British historiography in the Victorian era. And the term Whig interpretation has been applied to both the latter and to all types of present-minded history. First WIH What was the first WIH? The Whig vision of history derived from the common-law claim of continuity of the ancient constitution. As J.G.A. Pocock has shown, the developing historical method found in works by Sir Robert Brady and Sir Robert Filmer questioned this claim of continuity.2 That is, new work, essentially Tory history, attacked the foundations of the view that the ancient constitution was unchanging. Whiggish ancient constitutionalism was defended by William Petyt (1680) and by Edward Cooke’s Argumentum anti-Normannicum, or, An argument proving, from ancient histories and records, that William, Duke of Normandy, made no absolute conquest of England by the sword (1682); only to be attacked again by Brady’s A fvll and clear answer to a book, written by William Petit Esq (1681) and his An introduction to the old English history (1684). Soon after the Glorious Revolution James Tyrrell provided a clear Whig narrative in his Bibliotheca politica (1692); A Brief enquiry into the ancient constitution and government of England (1695); and The general history of England, as well ecclesiastical as civil (1696[/7?]).

Introduction Anne Dunan-Page University of Montpellier, France On 5 October 1885, the Reverend John de Soyres, the curate of St Martin-in-the- Fields, left his London flock unattended. He was answering an invitation to preach on Sunday morning in the University Church of Great St Mary’s, Cambridge, on the occasion of the two-hundredth anniversary of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV (22 October 1685). He entitled his sermon ‘The Huguenots and the Church of England’, a fitting subject for an Anglican minister and scholar of French descent, indeed the son of a minister of the Bristol Huguenot Church.1 In many ways, de Soyres was on home territory; the church of Great St Mary’s, on one side of Market Hill, lay opposite his old college of Gonville and Caius, and as a lecturer in Modern History at Queen’s College, London, he was used to addressing a university audience.

  • Commerce, Financeand Statecraft
    In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, historians of nance and statecraft Commerce, England pioneered a series of new approaches to the history of economic policy. Commerce, nance and statecraft charts the development of these forms of writing and explores the role Commerce, they played in the period’s economic, political and historical thought. In doing so, it makes a signi cant intervention in the study of historiography, and provides an original account of early modern and Enlightenment historical writing. nance and A broad selection of historical literature is discussed. This ranges from the work of Francis Bacon and William Camden in the Jacobean era, through a series of accounts shaped by the English Civil War and the party-political conicts that statecraft followed it, to the eighteenth-century’s major account of British history: David Hume’s History of England. Particular attention is paid to the historiographical context in which Histories of England, historians worked and the various ways they copied, adapted and contested one another’s narratives. The study demon- – strates that historical writing was the site of a wide-ranging, politically charged debate concerning the relationship which existed – and should have existed – between government and commerce at various moments in England’s past. The book will be essential reading for historians and literary critics working on the history of historical writing, and histo- rians, economists, political scientists and philosophers inter- ested in historiographical theory.

  • Originalism and James Bradley Thayer
    Copyright 2019 by Steven G. Calabresi Printed in U.S.A. Vol. 113, No. 6 ORIGINALISM AND JAMES BRADLEY THAYER Steven G. Calabresi ABSTRACT—This Essay provides an originalist appraisal of Professor James Bradley Thayer’s famous book on The Origin and Scope of the American Doctrine of Constitutional Law. I critique Professor Thayer’s thesis on multiple levels, pointing out important aspects of the original understanding that the Framers would have had of the meaning and origins of the U.S. Constitution, as well as disputing Professor Thayer’s discussion of the history of American judicial review from 1790 to the publication of his book in 1893. I conclude that no person can be both an originalist and a Thayerian. The two theories contradict one another and cannot be jointly adhered to. I then explain why I prefer originalism to Thayerianism as a normative matter. AUTHOR—Clayton J. & Henry R. Barber Professor, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law; Visiting Professor of Law, Fall semesters at Yale Law School 2013–2018.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,997 words. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of the place of ‘party’ and different ways of understanding this phenomenon in eighteenth-century British political discourse, especially between 1714 and 1765. Party is one of the most basic concepts of politics. If we are looking for party in any form, the idea of partisan division may be at least as old as the earliest societies where there was competition for office. But what did ‘party’ mean in the eighteenth century? While ancient factions usually denoted interest groups representing different orders in the state, party in the eighteenth century had a range of meanings, some general and others more specific.

  • Paul De Rapin De Thoyras's Histoire
    102 COMMERCE, FINANCE AND STATECRAFT 5 Whig history: Paul de Rapin de Thoyras’s Histoire The latter years of the seventeenth century saw a series of calls for a complete account of England’s history from the Roman invasion to the present, which would be able to rival both in quality and scale the work of Livy.1 Initial attempts at such an endeavour were made by, among others, John Milton, William Temple and Jonathan Swift, while more substantial accounts emerged from Robert Brady and James Tyrrell, both of whom reached Richard II.2 A success, of sorts, was achieved in 1706 with the publication of A Complete History of England, a two-volume compilation of material from authors such as Bacon, Camden and Wilson, supplemented with a new volume cov- ering the period from Charles I onwards authored by White Kennet.3 Laurence Echard, meanwhile, produced the first single-authored ‘general’ account, the History of England (1707, 1718).4 A more popular and, ultimately, more influential work, however, was to emerge a few years later with the publication of Paul de Rapin de Thoyras’s Histoire d’Angleterre (1724–27), the subject of this chapter.5 In the thirty years following its publication, Rapin’s Histoire received three separate English translations,6 sold around 18,000 copies,7 and spawned a range of derivative texts.8 It also contained, as Hugh Trevor-Roper has argued, ‘the classic exposition of the Whig – the “old Whig” – interpretation of history’.9 From this perspective, England’s past was the story of the ongoing survival of the nation’s Saxon constitution in the face of a series of threats from innovating monarchs and their proto-Tory supporters.
