SUMMARY:Contractual soldiering and negotiated authority during the French

DESCRIPTION:In stark contrast to the regular enlistment of a lifetime of s
 ervice anywhere\, the fencible regiments were created for service in Scotl
 and only\, later Britain\, and only for the duration of the French Revolut
 ionary War. Such limits were not new and\, in conjunction with the early s
 tages of trade unionism\, these men therefore engaged with civilian and mi
 litary conceptions of negotiation with authority. This paper will evaluate
  several key events\, particularly the spring 1794 “mutinies”\, to con
 sider how fencibles demonstrated both this engagement and their broader un
 derstanding of their soldiering as a contractual form of labour.\n\nJoin t
