This volume presents a fresh picture of the historical development of “conservatism” from the late 17th to the early 20th century. The book explores the broader geographies and transnational dimensions of conservatism and counterrevolution. The contributions show how counterrevolutionary concepts did not emerge in isolation, but resulted from the interplay between ideas, media, networks, and institutions. Like 19th-century liberalism and socialism, conservatism was the product of traveling ideas and people. This study describes how exile, mobility, and international sociability shaped counterrevolutionary identities. The volume presents case studies on the intersection of political philosophy, scholarly practices, international politics, and governmental bureaucracies. Furthermore, Cosmopolitan Conservatisms offers new approaches to the study of conservatism, including the prisms of ecology, gender, and digital history.

“Les 17 contributions (plus l’introduction) de ce volume amorcent une relecture importante de l’histoire du conservatisme sous l’angle de sa genèse et de sa formation transnationale […] chaque chapitre met en évidence une facette particulière de ces conservatismes, ce qui explique l’utilisation du pluriel pour englober la diversité géographique (Grande-Bretagne, France, Espagne, Pays-Bas, Allemagne, Russie, Chine) et chronologique (du XVIIe au XXIe siècle).”

“An important contribution to the understanding of conservatism […] as in itself a method of opening up existing structures of thought to imaginative critique.”
