Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Faction Displayed: Reconsidering the Impeachment of Dr. Henry Sacheverell features a collection of essays that examine the turbulent partisan culture during Queen Anne’s reign that ensued as a result of the 1710 parliamentary trial of English clergyman Henry Sacheverell.

• Features several essays originating from a 2010 conference held at the Palace of Westminster to mark the tercentenary of Sacheverell’s impeachment
• Links events in Parliament to the public that was both fascinated and enraged by them
• Explores the nature of the public sphere and critiques Habermas’s notion of it
• Offers a form of cultural parliamentary history and addresses the many forms of partisanship evident in the ‘rage of party’
