Schools for Statesmen
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
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…

Politics and the Misadventures of Thomas Jefferson's Modern Reputation
The Papers of Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson's Sexual Imagination
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
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
America's Jubilee
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
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

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.

Jefferson's Rationalizations
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…
If Men Were Angels
The ever-wary James Madison viewed his fellow citizens as anything but angelic. In this radically new interpretation, Richard Matthews portrays a much less optimistic (and yet more liberal) Madison than we've seen before. Neither civic humanist nor democrat, this Madison is a distrusting, calculating, and pragmatic Machiavellian Prince. Unlike previous authors, Matthews goes well beyond Madison's work on the Constitution to reconstruct the comple…

The Inner Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson's personal life has always been a puzzle to biographers. Even his contemporaries found him difficult to know. In Jefferson's correspondence, however, Andrew Burstein has found a key to the inner man. This penetrating and thoughtful portait confronts widespread misunderstandings about Jefferson's romantic life and provides insight into the contradictions that still surround our third president

The Seductions of Thomas Jefferson
WVe do not have to venerate Thomas Jefferson the man in order to recognize that an adroitness with the English language made him an essential force in extending-if he was not the foremost progenitor behind-America's romantic self-image. Now he is found to have been the most likely progenitor of a diverse family of Americans as well. What does this say about Jefferson? Can we avoid choosing to like or dislike him? Presuming to know Jefferson's rea…
