Liberty, Property and Popular Politics: England and Scotland, 1688-1815. Essays in Honour of H. T. Dickinson

Few scholars can claim to have shaped the historical study of the long 18th century more profoundly than Professor H. T. Dickinson, who, until his retirement in 2006, held the Sir Richard Lodge Chair of British History at the University of Edinburgh. This collection comprises 14 chapters based on contributions from Professor Dickinson’s students, friends and colleagues from around the world, providing both an illuminating range of perspectives on Britain’s long 18th century and a tribute to a remarkable scholarly career.
