In this revisionist account, Eric Nelson argues that a great many of our “founding fathers” saw themselves as rebels against the British Parliament, not the Crown. \u003ci\u003eThe Royalist Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e interprets the patriot campaign of the 1770s as an insurrection in favor of royal power—driven by the conviction that the Lords and Commons had usurped the just prerogatives of the monarch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Royalist Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e is a thought-provoking book, and Nelson is to be commended for reviving discussion of the complex ideology of the American Revolution. He reminds us that there was a spectrum of opinion even among the most ardent patriots and a deep British influence on the political institutions of the new country.”\u003cbr\u003e—Andrew O’Shaughnessy, \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A scrupulous archaeology of American revolutionary thought.”\u003cbr\u003e—Thomas Meaney, \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A powerful double-barrelled challenge to historiographical orthodoxy.”\u003cbr\u003e—Colin Kidd, \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[A] brilliant and provocative analysis of the American Revolution.”\u003cbr\u003e—John Brewer, \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eEric Nelson is the Robert M.
