Books by Alex Benchimol

This collection of essays is the result of a major conference focusing specifically on the role of Scotland's print culture in shaping the literature and politics of the long eighteenth century. In contrast to previous studies, this work treats Blackwood's Magazine as the culmination of a long tradition rather than a starting point.

Covers the intellectual formation of English plebeian radicalism and Scottish philosophic Whiggism over the long eighteenth century, and examines their associated strategies of critical engagement with the cultural, social and political crises of the early nineteenth century.
