Book Synopsis

In Enthusiasms and Loyalties Keith Grant draws on a fascinating range of archival sources from Cornwallis Township, Nova Scotia, during the years 1770–1850 to explore a diversity of public feelings, from disaffected Loyalists and unfeeling enthusiasts, as well as passionate patriots and ecstatic revivalists, in the revolutionary and Enlightenment Atlantic.



Trade Review

“Enthusiasms and Loyalties is an important, engaging study, examining the way that Nova Scotians attempted to deal with the impact of the American Revolution and its aftermath. By concentrating on the role that emotion and sentiment played in that process, Grant gives much needed colour and vibrancy to some well-trodden historiographical landscape.” Todd Webb, Laurentian University and author of Transatlantic Methodists: British Wesleyanism and the Formation of an Evangelical Culture in Nineteenth-Century Ontario and Quebec
