Description
This work brings together a broad and diverse group of scholars to examine the impact of important books and historians upon American historiography and American historical thinking. Ranging from the 1930s to the 1970s, the authors discuss such now-classic works of history as Arthur Schlesinger Jr's "Age of Jackson", Richard Hofstadter's "The Age of Reform" and Frederick Lewis Allen's "Only Yesterday". Included are chapters on women's history, African-American history, political, social and economic history, and history written for scholars as well as history written for a larger audience. Originally published in the "Retrospective" section of "Reviews in American History", the essays in this collection should be a useful resource for students and scholars alike.
