  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: REV. JOHN C. BOWMER, M.A., B.O. Volume XXXVI February 1967 EDITORIAL EMBERS who read carefully the report of the last Annual Meeting of the Society! will not be unprepared for this, the M first of the" three-per-annum " issues of the Proceedings. To repeat briefly what was said there, the Proceedings will, in future, be issued in February, June and October, but the total number of pages per volume will be maintained as at present. Readers will not, therefore, regard this as a retrograde step. With this issue we start a new volume. When it is completed it will mark seventy-two years of continuous publication. In 1897, when the first number appeared, there were still men in the ministry who could recall the" Fly-sheets" agitation. The admission of lay­ men to the VVesleyan Conference was but of recent memory. Now­ adays, these events have receded far enough into the past for them to have become not memories, but history. That is why nineteenth­ century Methodism, in all its branches, is now receiving an increas­ ing amount of attention. If the Editor's experience as Connexional Archivist, in charge of our Methodist Research Centre in London, is any guide, not only students of religion but also sociologists and secular historians are all turning their attention to the rather turbulent but nevertheless intriguing history of our Church. Reflecting the same trend is the number of articles we are receiving on this period-as is indicated by the selection offered in this issue.

  • The Social Citizenship Tradition in Anglo-American Thought
    The Social Citizenship Tradition in Anglo-American Thought by Constance MacRae-Buchanan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Constance MacRae-Buchanan 2013 The Social Citizenship Tradition in Anglo-American Thought Constance MacRae-Buchanan, PhD 2013 Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto Abstract The right to belong and participate in some form of political community is the most fundamental social right there is. This dissertation argues that social rights have not been understood broadly enough, that there has not been enough attention paid to their historical roots, and that they must not be viewed as being simply passive welfare rights. Rather, they must be seen in their historical context, and they must be seen for what they are: a much larger and more substantive phenomenon than what liberal theory has projected: both theoretically and empirically. I am calling this body of discourse “the social citizenship tradition.” This dissertation hopes to show that there was more than one definition of social citizenship historically and that social rights are certainly not “new.” In surveying a vast literature in Britain, the United States, and Canada, it points to places where alternative social rights claims have entered politics and society. By looking at writings from these three countries over three centuries, the evidence points to some similarities as well as differences in how scholars approached questions of economic and social rights. In particular, similar arguments over labour and property figured prominently in all three countries.

  • Paternalism and Democracy in the Politics of Robert Owen*
    GREGORY CLAEYS PATERNALISM AND DEMOCRACY IN THE POLITICS OF ROBERT OWEN* Popular conceptions of the politics of Robert Owen have changed sur- prisingly little since the early nineteenth century. Within a short time of the advent of his national campaign for Poor Law reform, Owen came under attack from radical parliamentary reformers on the grounds of his ostensible political conservatism. Among the rumours then afloat among the reformers, Richard Carlile later wrote, one was "that Mr. Owen was an instrument of the Government, to bring forward this plan of providing for the lower and poorer classes, for the purpose of drawing their attention from Parliamentary Reform".1 W. T. Sherwin, writing in April 1817, was more direct in advising his readers. Owen's scheme of "new fashioned poor houses" was "calculated to deprive you of your political rights, in every sense of the word". His educational plans would merely produce more loyal subjects of the Empire, "debarred from the enjoyment of the Rights of Man".2 In his Black Dwarf, T. J. Wooler accused Owen of wanting to set up "pauper barracks", whose inhabitants "shall be reduced to mere automata, and all their feelings, passions and opinions are to be subjected to certain rules, which Mr. Owen, the tutelary deity of these novel elysiums, will lay down". William Cobbett's abrasive comments on the "parallelo- grams of paupers" are too well-known to bear repetition.3 These views of Owen's political intentions might have been of only antiquarian interest, had they not also come to dominate scholarly opinion * I would like to thank the Editors of this journal for their comments on an earlier draft of this article, and the Managers of the Research Centre, King's College, Cambridge, for their assistance in funding my research.
