Description: Through its focus on the Continental reception of and engagement with seventeenth-century English thinkers and political events, this book offers new perspectives on English republicanism. Bringing together original essays by British and European scholars in the field of early modern intellectual history and English studies, the collection revises a one-sided approach to English republicanism and widens the scope of study beyond linguistic and national boundaries by looking at English republicans and their continental networks and legacy.
