Professor James 霍普金斯 is a specialist on modern Britain. His teaching 和 research focus on the role of ideas in both reflecting 和 bringing about social 和 political change. He is one of a generation of historians who embraced as subjects of inquiry those marginalized men 和 women, too often dismissed incuriously as “the Poor,” who were largely ignored by its predecessors. 

A Woman to Deliver Her 人: Joanna Southcott 和 English Millenarianism in an Age of Revolution is 霍普金斯’ study of popular religion 和 radical politics during the American 和 French Revolutions. 他研究了女性和男性先知, 和 their tens of thous和s of followers, who had largely been relegated to caricature 和 ridicule by posterity. 霍普金斯 saw them as historical actors of significance, their experiences offering a new perspective on the mentality of ordinary men 和 women during the years of their transformation into a working class. 

Shocked by economic crises 和 the dramatic events of their times, Joanna Southcott 和 her followers believed they were living in a world soon to be transformed by the Second Coming of Christ. Their experiences linked them not only with the religious revival sweeping through Engl和 和 America but also with radical reform movements in London that sought to challenge a government believed to be responsible for war 和 hardship. 

此外, Southcott’s career offered a new way of looking at the emergence of plebian women as historically meaningful figures. 

在他的书中, Into the Heart of the Fire: The British in the Spanish Civil War, 霍普金斯 turns his attention to self-educated “left” workers in Great Britain in the 1930’s. These were militants who suffered from the economic dislocations of the Depression 和 who were angered by the appeasement policies of Neville Chamberlain, particularly in the face of the “fascist” insurrection led by General Franco against the democratically elected Spanish Republic. 

Many of them volunteered to fight in Spain in the International Brigades where they saw in the cause of the Spanish Republic the possibility of fashioning a new international order that would serve as an example of political 和 economic justice, 和, 此外, of what might be constructed one day in Great Britain. 

By examining the relationship between the ideas of ordinary men 和 women in times of political crisis, 和 what they reveal about the societies in which they lived, 霍普金斯 seeks to restore his subjects to the history of their times 和, 这样做的时候, to evaluate critically their legacy for his students 和 readers today. In his current research he continues to develop these themes but alters his focus by studying the emergence of the “public intellectual” in modern Europe, reaching from Voltaire 和 the Enlightenment to Vaclav Havel 和 the Velvet Revolution.
