本文阐述了“自由保有者”一词在整个 18 世纪一系列政治斗争中的使用变化，追踪了从安妮女王统治末期到美国革命爆发期间它在廉价和特权印刷品中的实施情况。对这个术语的详细分析为整个 18 世纪财产、爱国主义、党派偏见和公共责任之间的关联联系的认知重构提供了深刻的视角。考虑到辉格党、托利党和反对派制作的民谣、小册子和期刊，本文特别关注约瑟夫·艾迪生、弗朗西斯·阿特伯里和亨利·圣约翰的写作。由于“自由持有者”的特征几乎完全是从城市和农村的二元角度来讨论的，因此本文还追踪了该术语在英国十八世纪印刷网络的中心和外围之间的传播，最后讨论了克里斯托弗·威维尔迄今为止未经研究的反对派期刊：《约克郡自由持有者》。
This article accounts for the changing usage of the term ‘freeholder’ across a series of political battles fought throughout the eighteenth century, tracking its implementation in a both cheap and privileged print from the end of Queen Anne’s reign to the dawn of the America Revolution. A detailed analysis of the term offers an insightful perspective on the epistemic reconfigurations of the associative links between property, patriotism, partisanship and public responsibility throughout the eighteenth century. Considering ballads, pamphlets and periodicals produced by Whigs, Tories and the Opposition, this article focuses particularly on the writing of Joseph Addison, Francis Atterbury and Henry St John. Since characterisations of the ‘freeholder’ are almost exclusively discussed in terms of urban and rural binaries the article also tracks the term’s transmission between the centres and peripheries of Britain’s eighteenth-century print networks, culminating in a discussion of Christopher Wyvill’s hitherto unstudied oppositional periodical: The Yorkshire Freeholder.
