   Abstract = {The Slave Compensation Commission distributed no less than
             ₤20 million between 1834 and 1845, making compensation
             “the largest single financial operation undertaken by the
             British state to date” (270). Nicholas Draper utilizes the
             Commission’s untapped records to construct what amounts to
             a forensic prosaopography, endeavoring to “locate the
             accountability for slavery more precisely” than has been
             possible to date. This essay locates compensation in
             relation to other public policies of the period associated
             with the rise of what George Soros has called “free market
             fundamentalism. The New Poor Law’s role in the
             criminalization of poverty is widely acknowledged. So too
             was the emergent gospel of free trade strengthened by the
             British State’s “disciplined” response to the Irish
             famine. Slave owner compensation also performed important
             ideological labor. It not only stripped abolition of any
             semblance of apology, it also shielded private profiteering
             from public or political scrutiny, emancipating the pursuit
             of material self-interest from any moral fetters. Thus did
             mammon assert its priority over humanity and religion, even
             if not especially in slavery’s aftermath.},

   Abstract = {Susan Thorne’s essay applies the narrative conventions of
             social history to a white Southerner’s faith journey.
             Religion figures in her autobiographical reflections as
             institutional space and social network, as site of community
             activism and as spiritual encounter with the divine. Her
             conclusions urge secular progressives to take religious
             subjectivity more seriously, to develop categories of
             scholarly analysis that don’t foreclose political
             mobilization.},

   Abstract = {This paper queries the mounting tide of discontent with
             social analysis embodied in British history’s recent
             ’linguistic turn’. Using the trajectory of Gareth
             Stedman Jones’s work as a basis for discussion, the
             authors compare the treatment of politics within both
             linguistic and social historical frameworks. They argue that
             the privileging of discourse or language in the work of
             Stedman Jones and others paradoxically undermines their
             revisionist aim to restore ’the political’ from the
             socio-economic reductionisms of earlier historical enquiry.
             It will be suggested that the revisionists’ substitution
             of language for social position as the ’prefigurative’
             and ’nonreferential’ source of subjective identity and
             political affiliation effectively precludes the possibility
             of politics understood as a contingent and negotiated
             process. To the contrary, it is precisely the referential
             and metaphorical character of language properly understood
             which both enables and constrains that human agency on which
             political mobilization depends.},

   Abstract = {Organised religion was one of the most powerful sources of
             inspiration and sites of association in Victorian Britain.
             Few historians who work on the nineteenth century today
             would object to G. Kitson Clark's revisionist insistence in
             1962 that ‘in no other century, except the seventeenth and
             perhaps the twelfth, did the claims of religion occupy so
             large a part of the nation's life, or did men speaking in
             the name of religion contrive to exercise so much power’.
             While contemporaries were alarmed that ‘only’ half of
             Britain's adult population attended church or chapel
             services on a regular basis, this far exceeded the social
             catchments of all other institutions in Victorian political
             culture. Moreover, most of the adults who were not regular
             churchgoers had probably been exposed to organised religion
             as children. Virtually every working-class child attended
             Britain's massively popular Sunday Schools at one point or
             another.Victorian religious practice was, furthermore, a
             very public and political praxis. In fact, Victorian public
             opinion was ‘educated from the pulpit’. This does not
             mean that religious Victorians spoke with a unified
             political voice. To the contrary, theological and sectarian
             differences were among the most important fault lines
             informing the nation's party political divide. While
             Nonconformists were nearly unanimous in their support for
             the Liberal Party, at least before 1886, Anglicans were as
             ardent if not quite as unified in their support for the
             Conservative Party.},
