In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Britain’s perception of America varied between a set of colonies, a utopia, a market and an experiment. Macleod examines changing British conceptions of America across the political spectrum during a period of political, cultural and intellectual upheaval. These shifting perceptions are in evidence in the writings of political commentators including Samuel Johnson, Thomas Paine, John Gifford, William Cobbett and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
"'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.'"
