Reviews

'In this original discussion of British attitudes to the newly established United States of America, Macleod develops a complex and nuanced analysis of the ways in which conservative, liberal and radical thinkers understood the growth of democracy and republicanism across the Atlantic before 1820. This important book should be essential reading for all those interested in the Anglo-American relationship from the eighteenth century to the present day.' Jane Rendall, University of York
