La naissance du nationalisme Anglais: 1-Le cas anglais : Un espèce de rejet de l’universalisme (religion). Henry VIII : a eu un conseiller named Thomas Moore…he was an influential person and against prodestantism-he was a universalist. He said you must protect unity of the church. The rest of the catholic clergy accepts the separation. The national feeling is an issue according to Moore. He was sentenced to death. The parliament supported Henry . The Anglican church won in popularity. The national idea already penetrated the spirit and Henry changed all of the churches to Anglican. The catholic church was threatened. Patriotism and sentiments were mixed. Important division between the English populations: Mix between national identity and religious identity. Irony= Anglicans that opposed Catholicism b/c they are to very similar religions. Whats the place of the parliament in the religious problem? Religion supports power and vice versa 2- Le rapport au pouvoir et l’unicité des Anglais. Opposition between power and freedom. The English parliament played an important role. If you want liberty, someone in power must value liberty or the people must be against that individual in power. Emergence of absolutist monarchy. Less and less opposition in power. Liberty with intermediary of institutions (parliament). Only legislative organism. National story: why English ppl share more liberty than others? They discovered a secret. The secret to liberty is that the English understand the opposition between power and liberty. The interest of power is always a threat to freedom. The English monitored power, the monarchy and the parliament. They asked questions concerning how their money was used and they chased tyrants from power. After this secret was discovered, there was a reinterpretation of the history of England. They were proud to be English and brought freedom to the rest of the world.
