Editorial Reviews
Review
‘a fine work of intellectual history. It is clearly structured, well argued, deeply researched, and informative … an excellent book that students of British and eighteenth-century intellectual history will profit from reading.’ American Historical Review ‘In this original discussion of British attitudes to the newly established United States of America, Macleod develops a complex and nuanced analysis of the ways in which conservative, liberal and radical thinkers understood the growth of democracy and republicanism across the Atlantic before 1820. This important book should be essential reading for all those interested in the Anglo-American relationship from the eighteenth century to the present day.’ Jane Rendall, University of York ‘impressive research with detailed textual analysis … a book that is accessible and easy to negotiate.’ European Romantic Review
