William Penn (1644-1718) - Quaker activist, theorist of liberty of conscience, and colonial founder and proprietor - played a central role in the movement for religious liberty on both sides of the Atlantic for more than four decades. This volume presents, for the first time, a fully annotated scholarly edition of Penn' s political writings over the course of his long public career, tracing his thinking from his early theorisation of religious toleration and liberty of conscience in England, as a leading member of the Society of Friends during the 1670s, to his colonial undertaking in Pennsylvania a decade later, his controversial role in the years leading up to the 1688 Revolution, and the ongoing consequences of that Revolution to his future prospects. Penn' s political writings provide an illuminating window into the increasingly sophisticated and influential movement for liberty of conscience in the early modern world.
