This book explores the evolution of British identity and participatory politics in the 1790s. Wil Verhoeven argues that in the course of the French Revolution debate in Britain, the idea of 'America' came to represent for the British people the choice between two diametrically opposed models of social justice and political participation.
Introduction: utopianism in practice: the American front of the French Revolution in Britain, 1789-1802; 1. 'The war of systems': print culture and the institutionalization of the political divide in the 1790s; 2. 'Cultivators of the earth': the American crisis and the emergence of the freehold farmer, 1763-83; 3. 'Rabies Agri': or, wilderness for sale; 4. 'The calculated rise of the American empire': the radicalization of American utopianism; 5. 'The mania of emigration': new philosophers in the wilderness; 6. 'The precious pearl of liberty': from Newgate Prison to Ohiopiomingo; 7. 'Come to these Arcadian regions where there is room for millions': politics for the people; 8. 'Look before you leap': the demonization of Jacobin America; 9. 'Parrying the enemy with their own weapons': dystopianism and the popular discourse of fear; Postscript. 'Mania reformation': the demise of transatlantic utopianism.
