Peace in the US Republic of...

Sandra M. Gustafson

Peace in the US Republic of Letters, 1840–1900 explores the early peace movement as it captured the imagination of leading writers. The book charts the rise of the peace cause from its sources in the works of William Penn and John Woolman, through the founding of the first peace societies in 1815 and the mid-century peace congresses, to the postbellum movement's consequential emphasis on arbitration. The Civil War is the central axis for the book, with three chapters organized around readings of novels by James Fenimore Cooper, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Nathaniel Hawthorne spanning the period from 1840 to 1865. 
 
 
 
The volume also explores fiction engaged with problems that arose in the aftermath of that war, including novels by Henry Adams and John Hay on political corruption and class conflict; works on the failures of Reconstruction by Albion Tourgée and Charles Chesnutt; and the varied treatments of Indigenous experience in Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona and Simon Pokagon's Queen of the Woods. All of these writers focused on issues related to the cause of peace, expanding its thematic reach and anticipating key insights of twentieth-century peace scholars.

The Age of Enlightened Despots -...

Nova Ashford

The Age of Enlightened Despotism was a period in European history during the 18th century when absolute monarchs, inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment, sought to combine their centralized power with reforms aimed at improving the welfare of their subjects. These rulers, often referred to as "enlightened despots," were influenced by the rationalist philosophy that emphasized reason, science, and progress. However, they did not embrace the democratic principles of the Enlightenment, opting instead to preserve their absolute authority while implementing select reforms to improve governance, society, and the economy.
At the heart of enlightened despotism was the belief that monarchs could act as benevolent rulers who used their absolute power to guide their countries towards prosperity and progress. These monarchs saw themselves as enlightened figures, tasked with leading their nations in line with the principles of the Enlightenment but without relinquishing control over the state. In contrast to traditional autocratic rulers, enlightened despots were often receptive to new ideas about governance, education, legal systems, and the treatment of their subjects. They embraced reforms that were designed to modernize their societies, often implementing policies that reflected Enlightenment thinkers such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau.
Frederick the Great of Prussia, Catherine the Great of Russia, and Joseph II of Austria were the most prominent examples of enlightened despots. Each of these rulers used their power to implement a range of reforms. Frederick, for instance, was known for his military prowess and his efforts to modernize the Prussian state, introducing reforms that improved the legal system, promoted education, and supported religious tolerance.
