Abstract

Skjönsberg proceeds to take up a series of other authors who analyzed parties, including quite famous figures such as Bolingbroke, Hume, and Burke, and others such as John Perceval and John Brown who are today frequently overlooked. Increasingly sophisticated theories of party are formulated by Hume and Burke - yet Skjönsberg also emphasizes new attacks on party by such figures as Brown and Catherine Macaulay. To grasp the history of party before Burke, one would have to read a whole series of books on British political culture and ideas, many of which wouldn't even have the word "party" in the title.
