New York, NY, U.S.A.: Cambridge University Press, 1994. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. This book examines the political and intellectual relations between the British Isles and America in a period which saw the formation of modern states on both sides of the Atlantic and the overthrow of an Anglican, aristocratic, and monarchical order; the author integrates evidence from law and religion to explain these events; in a study of British and American political discourse, he shows how law and religion were profoundly related and how rival conceptions of liberty were expressed in conflicts created by Protestant Dissent's hostility to an Anglican hegemony; and he argues that this model can explain collective acts of resistance to the established order throughout this period (red pictorial cover with very slight edgewear, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
