Recenzii
'This is a well-researched and deeply original study of the American social and political reformer Henry George, who inspired both the first generation of British and Irish socialists - including James Keir Hardie and Michael Davitt - and liberal reformers and philosophers like Thomas Hill Green. The main question Andrew Phemister endeavours to answer is why Henry George was so influential, but the originality of his approach also relies on his placing the history of political ideas in their widest social context.' E. F. Biagini, University of Cambridge
'Andrew Phemister has contributed a serious illustration of what he calls the “social history of ideas”, which locates the American journalist Henry George at the centre of a transition to non-violent activism, the contribution of Catholic intellectuals, and the fractionation of social movements over the relationship of state and individual. The book will be of interest to historians of labour, identity, and liberalism on both sides of the Atlantic.' Jo Guldi, Southern Methodist University

Descriere
Shows how Irish land in the 1880s was a site of ideological conflict, with resonances for liberal politics far beyond Ireland itself.
