MacRaild) The English Diaspora in North America: Migration, Ethnicity and Association, 1730s–1950s (Manchester, 2017). Bueltmann was principal investigator of the ESRC- funded ‘European, Ethnic, and Expatriate’ project, and co-Investigator of the ‘Locating the Hidden Diaspora’ project funded by the AHRC. Jonathan Clark was educated at Cambridge, where he was a Fellow of Peterhouse and a contributor to the ‘Cambridge School’ of the history of political thought. At Oxford he was a Fellow of All Souls College, and he was also a Visiting Professor at the Committee on Social Thought of the University of Chicago. Latterly he was Hall Distinguished Professor of British History at the University of Kansas. His work focuses on British and colonial American history in the ‘long eighteenth century’, but extends both backward and forward in time; it deals especially with the relations between political thought, religion and politics, and includes attention to the role of religion as a political mobiliser and as a source of division in social identities. His best-known books are English Society 1660–1832 (Cambridge, 1983, 2000) and The Language of Liberty 1660–1832 (Cam- bridge, 2004); his Thomas Paine, a study of the political, social and religious thought of England’s greatest revolutionary, was published in 2018. David T. Gleeson is Professor of American History at Northumbria University. He is the author of The Irish in the South, 1815–1877 (Chapel
