Beyond Liberty and Property

Professor Gunn presents a fresh, revealing picture of the public mind in Britain, from the Glorious Revolution to the First Reform Act, showing how British people of the eighteenth century came to a new understanding of politics. Departing form the usual approach based upon weighty treatises by a few prominent commentators, he employs a wide range of documents: newspapers, magazines, parliamentary debates, sermons, pamphlets, judicial records, and private correspondence. He examines topics that have generally escaped even specialist notice and takes up questions long regarded as settled, casting a new and different light on them.
