The Folly of Revolution: Thomas Bradbury Chandler and the Loyalist Mind in a Democratic Age
商品資訊
商品簡介
In this penetrating biography of Thomas Bradbury Chandler, S. Scott Rohrer takes readers deep into the intellectual world of a leading loyalist who defended monarchy, rejected rebellion and democracy, and opposed the American Revolution.
Talented, hardworking, and erudite, this Anglican minister from New Jersey possessed one of the colonial church's most outstanding minds. Chandler was an Anglican leader in the 1760s and a key strategist in the effort to strengthen the church in the years preceding the Revolution. He headed the campaign to create an Anglican bishopric in America--a cause that helped inflame tensions with American radicals unhappy with British policies. And, in the 1770s, his writings provided some of the most trenchant criticisms of the American revolutionary movement, raising fundamental questions about obedience, subordination, and rebellion that undercut Whig assertions about republicanism and popular control. Working from Chandler's library catalog and other primary sources, Rohrer digs into Chandler's political and religious beliefs, exploring their origins and the events in British history that shaped them.
An intriguing and thoughtful reappraisal of a consequential figure in early American history, this biography will captivate students, scholars, and lay readers interested in politics and religion in Revolutionary-era America.
