‎Republicanism, Sinophilia, and Historical Writing. Thomas Gordon (c.1691-1750) and his 'History of England',‎

‎Thomas Gordon (c.1691-1750) was a prolific Scottish journalist and pamphleteer working in eighteenth-century London. His works circulated in a variety of forms and for many years in Europe and the British North American colonies. Gordon's conception of 'republicanism' was essentially that of a secular and tolerant society free from providential designs; his works reflected a lifelong commitment to defending the rule of law, the balance of powers, and the rotation of representative bodies. This study sets out to produce a fuller profile of Gordon, to investigate his specific and controversial contribution as a political theorist, and finally to present for the first time an annotated edition of his unfinished and unpublished (mainly medieval) History of England: a highly readable text whose main metanarrative theme is the struggle between 'the Government of Will' and 'the Government of Laws'- with the struggle between 'God's Will' and 'the Will of the Clergy' as an essential rhetorical subtheme. The book also deals with a hitherto unexplored aspect of Gordon's thinking, his Sinophilia. Gordon's 'sensible Chinese' is drawn in as a rhetorical tool to voice bitter judgements on both Catholic and Protestant inconsistencies. By resorting to the utopian model of a distant Orient, Gordon aimed to expose the severe impact on Western societies of clerical interference in State affairs, concluding that 'men who are oppressed, or who foresee inevitable oppression, will be naturally thinking of the means of security and escape', or possibly dreaming about distant civilizations.

‎Edition originale de la traduction française.Ouvrage fort intéressant sur le général Gordon, son génie militaire, sa probité et son intérêt pour les peuples qu'il eut l'occasion de croiser en Crimée, et dans cette région (Arménie), en Chine où il brilla particulièrement, au Soudan une première fois en 1874, en Inde puis en Terre Sainte et enfin une deuxième fois au Soudan où il fut tué par les Mahdistes. La traduction des lettres et l'Introduction et biographie de Gordon sont de Paschal Grousset, corse, journaliste, écrivain et homme politique qui se rendit célèbre lors de la Commune de Paris dont il fut un des membres de la Commission exécutive. Arrêté, il fut condamné à la déportation en Nouvelle Calédonie, tout comme Henri Rochefort et Louise Michel ; grâce à un groupe de francs-maçons australien, il s'évada avec Henri Rochefort et cinq autres compagnons. Sous le pseudonyme d'André Laurie, il publia "L'épave du Cynthia" avec Jules Verne et une série d'ouvrages sur la vie de collège dans tous les pays, chez Hetzel.Dos un peu éclairci, bon exemplaire, frais, dans une reliure de bonne facture. ‎
