内容説明
This work features some 20 representatives of England, France and America, whose careers in some sense straddled the Atlantic in the last quarter of the 18th century. While not establishing causal links between the American and French Revolutions, the collective weight of these individual responses to the new America supports the idea of an "Atlantic Revolution". This study of the transatlantic experiences of the revolutionary generation shows the power of American images in shaping political rhetoric, if not political reality.
