Title: Unitarian Radicalism
First published: 2003
Description: "Unitarian confrontation with the late eighteenth-century political establishment is reflected in published sermons, pamphlets and parliamentary debates. Price and Priestley were only the most notorious members of a well-educated, close-knit and highly articulate intellectual opposition, all the more formidable for dominating the major literary reviews.".

"Focusing on many lesser-known Dissenting publicists, this study uncovers largely unacknowledged continuities in Unitarian critiques of government policies, and in Unitarian campaigns against government interference in matters of conscience. The French Revolution was attractive to Unitarians because the new French constitution, like the American Bill of Rights, broke the stranglehold of an oppressive established church."--BOOK JACKET.
