E. J. Eisenach, Choice 57 (5), January 2020. [...] c'est peut-etre ici que reside le principal enjeu du travail delicat d'histoire contextualisee des usages de la categorie de democratie (et d'anti-democratie) que propose cet ouvrage : inviter le lecteur a s'interroger, a l'aide de l'histoire, sur ce que signifie, presuppose et implique de se reclamer d'un ideal politique affirmant, selon les mots de The Government of the People of England (1650) ecrit par un certain John Parker dont on ne sait pas grand-chose, que: all government is in the people, from the people, and for the people . Christopher Hamel , in Revue de la Societe d'etudes anglo-americaines des XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles, 77 (2020). This is an important, scholarly, and well-written collection of essays. The authors base their arguments on a mass of primary sources, many of which have rarely been used before.[...] Overall, this is an excellent and wideranging collection of essays on important topics .
