His research focuses on political culture in the early modern period. His most recent publication, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil in Disguise: Deception, Delusion and Fanaticism in the Early English Enlightenment\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), includes a chapter about the Sacheverell trial.  In 1710, the English clergyman Doctor Henry Sacheverell became embroiled in a celebrated show trial before the House of Lords that developed into one of the greatest controversies of the early 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. \u003ci\u003eFaction Displayed: Reconsidering the Impeachment of Dr. Henry Sacheverell\u003c\/i\u003e features a collection of essays that closely examine the turbulent partisan culture—and bitter public furore—that ensued as a result of the 1710 parliamentary trial of Dr. Henry Sacheverell. Impeached for sermons that challenged the principles underpinning the Revolution of 1688, Sacheverell had lashed out against fundamental Whig ideas about religious toleration, moderation, and a right to resist tyrants—ideas that precipitated one of the largest printed debates in the first half of the eighteenth century. Readings reveal how Sacheverell’s trial cast a wider net on ways the so-called ‘Glorious Revolution’ transformed British society, as well as how it provides deeper insights into the character of Britain’s ‘public sphere’.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFaction Displayed\u003c\/i\u003e offers important new insights into the politics, religion, press, discourse, ideology, economics and imperialism of a critical period in English history. Part 1 covers the theoretical foundations of intercultural sociolinguistic analysis. The articles presented in Part 2 and 3 illustrate the analytical applications of this theoretical framework, and Part 4 focuses the reader on issues relating to intercultural discourse and communication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989194260709,"sku":"NP9781444361872","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781444361872.jpg?v=1761783160","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/faction-displayed-isbn-9781444361872","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
