Reviews
One of our most imaginative and relevant historians... Colley takes you on intellectual journeys you wouldn't think to take on your own., In this bold, lucid, and wide-ranging book, Linda Colley reveals the international dialogue that created our age of constitutions., [A] dazzling global history... pulling away the blinkers of national stories, widening the focus, and showing--as the current pandemic has done--how interconnected all our lives and interests are... Bold... Abounds with subtle arguments grounded in expertly marshaled sources, generously acknowledged. But perhaps the book's most impressive aspect is its mobility, felt not only in the fluid narratives but in the movement of constitutional ideas themselves., No one can accuse Linda Colley of shying away from big subjects. This one is as big as they come -- nothing less than an exploration of the origin of written constitutions.... The Gun, the Ship and the Pen is a remarkable feat of scholarship on an international scale.... [There are] many insights in this impressive book., Dazzling.... Enthralling, illuminating and inspiring.... Colley conducts a vivid worldwide tour of 'a contagious political genre'.... The result is one of the most enthralling, illuminating and inspiring works of global history in decades.... The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen proves that the history of constitutions is too important to be left to constitutional lawyers. This is a big book in every sense: vast in scope, broad in ambition, and rich in stories, convergences and insights., Linda Colley's central proposition--that the pillars of modern nationhood arose chiefly from the catastrophes of war--may surprise as well as enlighten. The book's astonishing intercontinental scope, though, coupled with Colley's brilliance, make it a masterpiece., From the Mediterranean to Japan, a dazzling, beautifully written, and surprising tale to discover the deep connections between the transformations of modern warfare and the rise of constitutions across the globe. A must read., A helpful contribution to this growing field.... Colley's work echoes that of the great scholar of nationalism, Benedict Anderson.... Interestingly, Colley shows that early constitutions were not simply the result of demands from below.... The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen has important lessons for anyone interested in political development today., As a piece of historical thinking, argument and writing, it is magisterial by every criterion, the most impressive outcome, thus far, of what has already been a career of great creativity. It is a measure, equally, of how the discipline of history has changed over the past twenty years., A book of stupendous range and originality, The Gun, The Ship, and the Pen delivers an ambitious new account of the making of the modern world. Linda Colley has an unparalleled ability to bring together the histories of ideas, politics, and people, and to distill prodigious learning into a narrative that is at once incisively argued and an immense pleasure to read. Rippling with fresh interpretations, startling connections, and remarkable stories, this is a masterpiece of global history by one of the greatest historians working today.--Maya Jasanoff, Harvard University, In Linda Colley's new book, constitutions fizzle with the energy of war, navigation and power.... She avoids the idea that these documents are gifted to the people by elites.... This fascinating global history shows that while constitutions are surrounded by an ocean of competing interests and violence, read together they tell a tale of how interconnected the story of political hope has always been., Copiously researched and elegantly written, Colley's treatise goes beyond the usual Anglo-American focus of constitutional history to show the global impact of the constitutionalist movement. The result is a fresh and illuminating take on these still-living documents., A wide-ranging, beautifully written global history... Colley's narrative is rich, and she emphasizes the colorful characters who have contributed to constitution-making projects around the world., Despite their lofty ideals, constitutions' many guises across the world repeatedly failed to meet their stated aspirations. Remarkable therefore are our centuries of persistent belief in these documents. With her characteristic skill, erudition, and creativity, Linda Colley, one of our greatest historians, explains this seeming conundrum through a history of the durability of human hope, war, and political imagination. This is a monumentally important book., Fascinating and important... Colley's wide-ranging survey covers many aspects of the global impact of constitutions, from the crucial importance of printers and publishers, to Thomas Paine's interest in putting political and legal concepts on paper, to Toussaint Louverture defying the French in 1801 and publishing his own constitution for a future Black-ruled Haiti... This carefully crafted exploration shows how constitutions have helped to bring about an extraordinary revolution in human behavior, ideas and beliefs over the years. Though constitutions are flawed, Colley writes, 'in an imperfect, uncertain, shifting, and violent world, they may be the best we can hope for.', A book of stupendous range and originality, The Gun, The Ship, and the Pen delivers an ambitious new account of the making of the modern world. Linda Colley has an unparalleled ability to bring together the histories of ideas, politics, and people, and to distill prodigious learning into a narrative that is at once incisively argued and an immense pleasure to read. Rippling with fresh interpretations, startling connections, and remarkable stories, this is a masterpiece of global history by one of the greatest historians working today., Colley writes with such elegance and verve that the journey, and the characters it involves, are always fascinatingly worthwhile. This is an original global history that adds to readers' understanding of the world they live in..... The Gun, the Ship and the Pen is an ambitiously wide-ranging account of the forces that propelled the writing of constitutions - documents that have defined the modern world - from the middle of the 18th century to today., [A] terrific new global history of constitutions.... [of] many captivating stories.... Colley has produced a brilliant world history. The Gun, the Ship and the Pen is a compelling and stylish corrective to any notion that constitutions are a somnolent backwater devoid of drama and historical significance., Dazzling.... Colley conducts a vivid worldwide tour of 'a contagious political genre'.... The result is one of the most enthralling, illuminating and inspiring works of global history in decades.... The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen proves that the history of constitutions is too important to be left to constitutional lawyers. This is a big book in every sense: vast in scope, broad in ambition, and rich in stories, convergences and insights., Linda Colley's historical expeditions are often inspiring... revealing new, deeper ways of understanding., In this ambitious work, Linda Colley seeks to rethink the 'long' nineteenth century through the prism of the many constitutions it produced. Written with characteristic vigor and clarity, her book shows the continued validity of 'big picture' history in asking searching questions and providing unexpected answers., If there were a Nobel Prize in History, Colley would be my nominee... An incandescent, paradigm-shifting new book., A marvelous tour with a brilliant guide through world history in search of the early adopters of written constitutions--a thoroughly enjoyable read!
