FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Unitarian confrontation with the late eighteenth century political establishment is reflected in published sermons, pamphlets and parliamentary debates. Price and Priestley were notorious members of a well educated, close knit and highly articulate intellectual opposition, all the more formidable for dominating the major literary reviews. Focusing on many lesser known dissenting polemicists, this study uncovers unexpected continuities in Unitarian critiques of government policies an questions whether Burke was justified in equating antitrinitarians with French republicans.

In this lucid study, Stuart Andrews looks not only at the famous Priestley but at the nation-wide network to which he belonged. He guides us expertly through the Unitarian literature of protest, emphasising the long-standing religious convictions and grievances which fed a political rhetoric which Burke and others dismissed as Jacobinical. - John Walsh, Jesus College, Oxford.
