  • Schools for Statesmen

    Andrew BursteinARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2023

    Detailed and compendious, Schools for Statesmen performs a valuable service. It breaks down every conceivable factor in categorizing the backgrounds of the fifty-five framers of the U.S. Constitution, who represented twelve states (Rhode Island boycotted the convention). Rather than simply analyzing eighteenth-century college life, Browning focuses at length on delegates who were largely self-taught in addition to those who had tutors or attended…

  • They Will Have Their Game

    Andrew BursteinARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    Sporting culture was manly, Kenneth Cohen instructs, but it was only really athletic for the non-elite jockeys who rode the thoroughbreds of speculative breeders craving amusement. Through the early decades of national life, billiard rooms, racetracks, coffeehouses, and theaters brought together a cross-section of the American public. Competitive behaviors were on display in alternately rough and genteel venues. “Sportive” types challenged conven…

  • Thomas Jefferson's Sexual Imagination

    Open AccessAndrew BursteinARTICLEHistory Compass2005References: 1

    Our key to understanding Thomas Jefferson's presumed relationship with his slave Sally Hemings lies in his response to prevailing theories of health science. The leading authority on health for sedentary intellectuals, or gens de lettres, was the Swiss physician Samuel A. D. Tissot. Jefferson followed Tissot's prescriptions for a healthy mental and physical constitution through exercise and semi‐vegetarian diet, and it is altogether likely that h…

  • Sex, Death, and Revolutions

    Rhys Isaac, Cynthia A Kierner et al.ARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly2005

    On October I, 1792, a household of teenagers (headed by a married pair just out of their teens) set out to visit the home of another young couple. There were screams in the night, and, five months later, there was a murder trial. In a preliminary hearing, the court had to determine the credibility of evidence that infanticide had been committed by a young father on the offspring of an incestuous liaison with his even younger sister-in-law. The co…

  • America's Jubilee

    Robert E Bonner, Andrew Burstein et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    Reading these two books together gives the unmistakable impression that a seismic shift took place in American perception in the five years that separated the country's “Jubilee” anniversary and what Louis P. Masur memorably calls the “year of eclipse.” Historians of the early republic might attribute the change in national mood to the electoral victory of Andrew Jackson over John Quincy Adams midway through the span from 1826 to 1831, but the ar…

  • The Political Character of Sympathy

    Andrew BursteinARTICLEJournal of the Early Republic2001Cited by: 3

    The generation of scholars responsible for establishing classical republicanism as dominant paradigm for explaining Revolution premised its view on opposition of virtue and corruption in government. This has sparked many scholarly discussions over years on relative value of liberal ideas and republicanism (the relative strength of individualism versus concept of public good). But, as many have also suggested, paradigm says far too little about em…

  • Transatlantic Insurrections

    Andrew Burstein, Paul GilesARTICLEJournal of the Early Republic2001Cited by: 4

    Transatlantic Insurrections: British Culture and Formation of American Literature, 1730-1860. By Paul Giles. (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001. Pp. 262. Cloth, $55.00; paper, $19.95.) At precisely time when theories of romantic irony were being developed, writes Paul Giles, was coming to appear to Europe as a kind of cracked or crazy mirror, wherein Old World witnessed strangely distorted representations of itself (149). The a…

    America's Jubilee: How in 1826 a Generation Remembered Fifty Years of Independence. By Andrew Burstein. (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2001. Pp. xiv, 361. Illustrations, maps. $30.00.) Following closely on the author's previous book on romantic nationalism, and written (and perhaps conceived) in the fulsome tide of re-remembrances and re-presentations on the fiftieth anniversary of World War II, America's Jubilee is an ambitious book. Because its am…

  • Jefferson's Rationalizations

    Andrew BursteinARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly2000

    T SHE manner in which Thomas Jefferson assessed his moral choices has eluded both his traditional defenders and his recent critics. DNA results have convincingly linked him to Sally Hemings sexually, and yet the cultural context for explaining their liaison remains obscure. Little historical documentation exists to supply answers to the questions that we want answered: Did Jefferson love Hemings? Did Hemings love Jefferson? Was the relationship d…
