Contested liberalisms and voluntary associations in the Age of Revolutions, 2021
When in 1823 John cam Hobhouse wrote to Lord Byron about “a Great Public Dinner” to be held in ho... more When in 1823 John cam Hobhouse wrote to Lord Byron about “a Great Public Dinner” to be held in honor of the Greek and the spanish revolutionaries, he was bearing witness to a basic fabric of London social and political life; the thriving public campaigns of voluntary associations. the paper places the Greek committee – conventionally seen as the offspring of philhellenism – within the larger associational setting of the early nineteenth century London. although other associations flourished in the us and in cities throughout europe, London was the major scene where this profusion acquired a complex relationship with oppositional politics and a crucial role in re-ordering arrangements in the international competition. the paper conveys a set of reflections over some related propositions. First, it treats context as material space locating the Greek committee in its birthplace, “the crown and anchor tavern” and in its time, the age of Revolutions. Within the practice of associational sociability played out at the tavern, British philhellenism and reformism come close together. Reformers, independent MPs, and prominent Dissenters of the Greek committee created a novel cleavage in British politics with major implications around the world. From this point on, secondly, it focuses on connections and affiliations that went far beyond the Greek Revolution and defined, arguably, reform aspirations stretching from Greece and the Iberian Peninsula to 18both americas and the arabic-speaking Mediterranean. Viewing, thirdly, the Greek committee as the perfect media product, the paper suggests a retake on philhellenism. In a period when commercial humanism and imperial reformism became Britain’ state mythos, voluntary associations made society “talk” intensively about everything: the revolutionary south, political corruption, commercial and financial foreign policies, liberty and utility, constitution and the state. the Greek cause was exposed in the market of communication of these informal groups. associations on the other hand equipped its members with great political and cultural potency both in their activities and identities. Voluntary associations in the age of Revolutions talked themselves up not only with criticism but with alternative international visions as well.

As the author shows, in order to understand this intellectual current, it has to be located both in its "birthplace"-the urban public sphere-and in its time, the Age of Revolutions. This is not only because what was happening in imperial Britain had serious implications elsewhere, but also because British radicals were thinking about reforms, constitutionalism and political participation by looking at political situations and revolutions around the world. In other words, ideas moved from London to the rest of the world and vice versa. Yanna Tzourmana examines primarily the "incoming" movement by looking at the relationship between British radicals and what is increasingly seen as the revolutionary south-Latin America, the Iberian peninsula and Greece (without framing it in this way). One of these was the Greek Committee, conventionally seen as the institutional expression of Greek philhellenism. Tzourmana argues that if we want to understand it, we need to understand the intellectual formation and the political activism of its founding members way before the revolution itself. 2 Thus, an important contribution of the book is that it familiarises the Greek public with a thriving historiography on the formation and the global movement of ideas-a meeting point of transnational and intellectual history. Greek historiography remains partly oblivious to these developments and one can only hope that this book will contribute to a further engagement with them. Conventionally, intellectual historians tended to locate ideas within linguistic contexts. This has been both a cause of celebration and of criticism. Tzourmana follows that latest and more critical trend by focusing not just on ideas themselves but also on where and how these ideas were formed. Context for Tzourmana is not primarily or exclusively linguistic; it is also material space, the places where people, the radicals, but also other groups, formed, expressed their ideas and exposed them to criticism. 3 What is more, she treats ideas as lived experience. Overcoming an idealist-empiricist divide, Tzourmana locates ideas not just in time and place but also in individual biographies, personal relationships, friendships, dialogues, sociability and different social settings. In addition, she treats ideas as dialogical: they are not only shaped and inflected by encounters with past and present ideas but also by human encounters. That means that the lives of those who actually articulate them are important. In that sense, the book seems to be part of a recent
