While scholars of seventeenth-century republicanism share their enthusiasm for their field, they have approached their subject in diverse ways. The contributors to the present volume have taken the opportunity to bring these approaches together in a number of case studies covering republican language, republican literary and political culture, and republican religion, to paint a lively picture of the state of the art in republican scholarship. The volume begins with three chapters influenced by the theory and methodology of the linguistic turn, before moving on to address cultural history approaches to English republicanism, including both literary culture and (practical) political culture. The final section of the volume looks at how religion intersected with ideas of republican thought. Taken together the essays demonstrate the vitality and diversity of what was once regarded as a narrow topic of political research.}, language = {en} } @article{WiemannMahlberg2014, author = {Wiemann, Dirk and Mahlberg, Gaby}, title = {Introduction : Perspectives on English revolutionary republicanism}, series = {Perspectives on English revolutionary republicanism}, journal = {Perspectives on English revolutionary republicanism}, editor = {Wiemann, Dirk and Mahlberg, Gaby}, publisher = {Ashgate}, address = {Farnham}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{Mahlberg2009, author = {Mahlberg, Gaby}, title = {Henry Neville and English republican culture in the seventeenth century : dreaming of another game}, series = {Politics, culture and society in early modern Britain}, journal = {Politics, culture and society in early modern Britain}, edition = {1. publ}, publisher = {Manchester Univ.

It traces the development of Neville's political thought from the English Civil Wars to the Exclusion Crisis and beyond, while also challenging the way in which the history of ideas has been conceptualised in recent years by discussing Neville's political theory alongside his lesser known libels, shams and poetry. The book also challenges an established view of Neville based on his collaboration with the better-known philosopher James Harrington and shows Neville as a political thinker in his own right. While studies of early modern English republicanism tend to focus on the Interregnum, Neville's Plato redivivus, which promoted a restructuring of the political order, was only published after the 1660 Restoration of the monarchy. This study therefore draws attention to long-term continuities in English republican thought and introduces the concept of anti-patriarchalism to focus on what Neville and other republicans writing before 1649 or after 1660 had in common. They shared their opposition to tyranny, not monarchy, and aimed to limit the discretionary powers of the executive - a concern which links the debates between the Long Parliament and the King of 1641 to Neville's proposals to limit the powers of the Crown in 1681. The author's engagement with Neville's reputation as an atheist and crypto-Catholic also sheds new light on the role of religion in republican thought.}, language = {en} } @article{Mahlberg2009, author = {Mahlberg, Gaby}, title = {Neo-Harringtonianism and " a letter sent to General Monk" (1660) revisited}, issn = {0268-117X}, year = {2009}, abstract = {This article argues that a pamphlet entitled "A Letter Sent to General Monk" (1660) has been wrongly attributed to the English republican Henry Neville (1619-94).
