Catharine Macaulay: Political Writings
The first modern scholarly edition of the published writings of historian and political pamphleteer Catharine Macaulay, who made a significant contribution to debates about political reform in the Age of Enlightenment and Revolution. Influencing Wollstonecraft and proto-feminism, she wrote about education, the rights of women, and animal rights.
The Republican Virago
Catharine Macaulay represented everything the eighteenth century abhorred in a woman. She was learned, politically minded, actively engaged with public and philosophical issues of the day. Her private life, and especially her 'imprudent' second marriage to a man twenty-six years her junior,led to much malicious gossip. Yet in her lifetime she also won considerable fame. The author of an eight-volume history of England in the seventeenth century, a republican, a follower of John Wilkes, and a political polemicist, not only did she influence the nature of eighteenth-century radicalismin England, but she played an important contributory role in the shaping of American revolutionary ideology. Lo...

Catharine Macaulay's Republican Enlightenment
The ‘celebrated’ Catharine Macaulay was both lauded and execrated during the eighteenth century for her republican politics and her unconventional, second marriage.

Her disagreements with conservative opponents, David Hume, Edmund Burke, and Samuel Johnson are developed in detail, as is her influence on more progressive admirers such as Thomas Jefferson, J...

An Address to the People of England, Ireland, and Scotland
Catharine Macaulay (née Sawbridge; 23 March 1731 - 22 June 1791), later Catharine Graham, was an English historian. Catharine Macaulay was a daughter of John Sawbridge (1699-1762) and his wife Elizabeth Wanley (died 1733) of Olantigh. John was a landed proprietor from Wye, Kent, whose ancestors were Warwickshire yeomanry. Macaulay was educated privately at home by a governess. In the first volume of her History of England, Macaulay claimed that from an early age she was a prolific reader, in particular of "those histories which exhibit liberty in its most exalted state in the annals of the Roman and Greek Republics...[from childhood] liberty became the object of a secondary worship." Howeve...

Women Writers and the Early Modern British Political Tradition
This collection of essays includes studies of women's political writings from Christine de Pizan to Mary Wollstonecraft and explores in depth the political ideas of the writers in their historical and intellectual context. The volume illuminates the limitations placed on women's political writings and their broader political role by the social and scholarly institutions of early modern Europe. In so doing, the authors probe legal and political restraints, distinct national and state organisation, and assumptions concerning women's proper intellectual interests. In this endeavour, the volume explores questions and subjects traditionally ignored by historians of political thought and little considered even by current feminist theorists, groups who give slight attention to women's political ideas or place women's writings within the social and intellectual structures from which they emerged and which they helped to shape.
