The book explores the work of the period's most influential historians ­? among them Francis Bacon, William Camden, Paul de Rapin-Thoyras and David Hume ? and shows how these writers, and their contemporaries, were engaged in a series of hotly contested, politically?charged debates concerning the management of England's commercial and financial interests. This book will be essential reading for historians and literary critics working on Restoration and eighteenth-century historical writing, and historians, economists, political scientists, and philosophers interested in historiographical theory. 330 8 $a"In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, historians of England pioneered a series of new approaches to the history of economic policy. Commerce, finance and statecraft charts the development of these forms of writing and explores the role they played in the period's economic, political and historical thought. In doing so, it makes a significant intervention in the study of historiography, and provides an original account of early modern and Enlightenment historical writing. A broad selection of historical literature is discussed. This ranges from the work of Francis Bacon and William Camden in the Jacobean era, through a series of accounts shaped by the English Civil War and the party-political conflicts that followed it, to the eighteenth-century's major account of British history: David Hume's History of England. Particular attention is paid to the historiographical context in which historians worked and the various ways they copied, adapted and contested one another's narratives. The study demonstrates that historical writing was the site of a wide-ranging, politically charged debate concerning the relationship which existed ? and should have existed ? between government and commerce at various moments in England?s past. The book will be essential reading for historians and literary critics working on the history of historical writing, and historians, economists, political scientists and philosophers interested in historiographical theory." -- Back cover. 606 $aHistorians$zEngland 606 $aPolitical science$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aEconomics$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aEconomic policy$xHistoriography$xEarly works to 1800 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y17th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yStuarts, 1603-1714 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y1714-1837 610 $aHistory 610 $aEurope 610 $aGreat Britain 610 $aGeneral 610 $aBusiness & Economics 610 $aEconomic History 615 0$aHistorians 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic policy$xHistoriography$xEarly works to 1800. 676 $a942.06 700 $aDew$b Benjamin$f1978-$0912285 712 02$aManchester University Press, 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996543172703316 996 $aCommerce, finance and statecraft$92042775 997 $aUNISA
