The relationship between political ideas and political reality is difficult to define. Consequently historians seldom attempt to link thought and action, but concentrate solely upon the facts of a given political situation. In this book, which covers the period from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the French Revolution of 1789, Dr Dickinson has succeeded in redressing the imbalance. Taking as his theme the ideas and arguments used to defend or reform the constitution and political order in Britain, he combines what men wrote and said with what they actually did. His achievement is to have opened up an entirely new avenue of eighteenth-century British political history. Dr Dickinson bases his study on a wealth of contemporary evidence, much of it previously untouched. It includes the treatises of all major political thinkers and propagandists, all reported parliamentary debates from 1688 to 1800, literally thousands of pamphlets, sermons, magazines and newspapers, as well as an abundance of politically-conscious literature by writers such as Addison, Swift, Steele, Pope and many others.
