How did the creation of an overseas empire change politics in England itself?After 1660, English governments aimed to convert scattered overseas dominions into a coordinated territorial power base. Stuart monarchs encouraged schemes for expansion in America, Africa, and Asia, tightened control over existing territories, and endorsed systems of slave labor to boost colonial prosperity. But English power was precarious, and colonial designs were subject to regular defeats and failed experimentation. Recovering from recent Civil Wars at home, England itself was shaken by unrest and upheaval through the later seventeenth century. Colonial policies emerged from a kingdom riven with inner tensions, which it exported to enclaves overseas. Gabriel Glickman reinstates the colonies within the domestic history of Restoration England. He shows how the pursuit of empire raised moral and ideological controversies that divided political opinion and unsettled many received ideas of English national identity. Overseas ambitions disrupted bonds in Europe and cast new questions about English relations with Scotland and Ireland. Vigorous debates were provoked by contact with non-Christian peoples and by changes brought to cultural tastes and consumer habits at home. England was becoming an imperial nation before it had acquired a secure territorial empire. The pressures of colonization exerted a decisive influence over the wars, revolutions, and party conflicts that destabilized the later Stuart kingdom.

In November 1963,these were important questions for a Kennedy-turned-Johnson administration.Among these officials was a driven National Security Council staffer named RobertKomer, who had made it his personal mission to have the United States form betterrelations with Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser after diplomatic relations were nearlysevered during the Eisenhower years. While Kennedy saw the benefit of having good,personal relations with the most influential leader in the Middle East—believingthat it was the key to preventing a new front in the global Cold War—Johnsondid not share his predecessor’s enthusiasm for influencing Nasser with aid.In US-Egypt Diplomacy under Johnson, Glickman brings to light the diplomaticefforts of Komer, a masterful strategist at navigating the bureaucraticprocess. Appealing to scholars of Middle Eastern history and US foreignpolicy, the book reveals a new perspective on the path to a war that wasto change the face of the Middle East, and provides an important “appliedhistory” case study for policymakers on the limits of personal diplomacy.

A comprehensive examination of the English Catholic community in all its aspects.The half-century following the Glorious Revolution has been viewed as a time of retreat and withdrawal for English Catholics: the response to tightening penal laws, periods in exile and the failures of the Jacobite cause. This book argues that the perception has arisen because research has been directed into the wrong places. It aims to recapture the eighteenth-century Catholic 'recusant' imagination through a study of hitherto unexplored treatises, manuscript literature and private correspondence preserved in family and religious archives.Contrary to the image of seclusion, Catholic lives were penetrated by questions of national identity, religious liberty and the authorityof an international church: conflicts experienced not merely within their own nation, but in the European courts, seminaries and universities that supported them in exile. Their writings can be understood as commentaries on the state of a community trapped between the political, cultural and intellectual divisions that cut across the Roman Catholic world. Many were actively promoting change in church and state within Britain and Europe, and their argumentsshaped the emergence of a 'Catholic Enlightenment' that outlasted the commitment to Jacobitism.The English Catholic Community investigates Catholic education and family life, scholarship, poetry and spirituality. Itoffers a fresh contribution to debates surrounding the history of the Jacobite movement, the construction of British national identity, and the origins of the Enlightenment. Gabriel Glickman is Assistant Professor of Early Modern British History at the University of Warwick.
