  • J ames J. G igantino II. William Livingston’s American Revolution

    Open AccessCynthia A KiernerARTICLEThe American Historical Review2021

    William Livingston’s American Revolution is a definitive account of the War for Independence and its aftermath in New Jersey, a state that was the scene of hostilities ranging from full-scale battles to partisan raids for the entire duration of what historians increasingly characterize as the United States’ first civil war. As his title indicates, James J. Gigantino II focuses primarily on the experiences of William Livingston, a transplanted New…

    When hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and other disasters strike, we count our losses, search for causes, commiserate with victims, and initiate relief efforts. Amply illustrated and expansively researched, Inventing Disaster explains the origins and development of this predictable, even ritualized, culture of calamity over three centuries, exploring its roots in the revolutions in science, information, and emotion that were part of the Age of…

    Mary Beth Norton is one of the founding mothers of early American women’s history. Her most influential work is the pathbreaking Liberty’s Daughters: The Revolutionary Experience of American Women, 1750–1800 (1980), in which she contended that the American Revolution improved many women’s lives and broadened their consciousness, though it brought them no new political or legal rights. As Norton notes, this book is a prequel to Liberty’s Daughters…

  • Women, Gender, Families, and Households in the Southern Colonies

    Cynthia A KiernerARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2007

    r AMILY, GENDER, AND HOUSEHOLD RELATIONSHIPS ASSUME CENTER STAGE in fictional portrayals of southern life from Absalom, Absalom to Steel Magnolias. By contrast, historians showed little interest in these topics until recently, and good work was especially wanting for the colonial era. Julia Cherry Spruill's landmark book, Women*s Life and Work in the Southern Colonies, and Edmund S. Morgan's brief Virginians at Home were isolated early attempts t…

  • 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…

  • A History of Household Government in America

    Cynthia A Kierner, Carole ShammasARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2004

    What is household government? To the vast majority of those living in America from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century it was the government. The head of a household, invariably an adult male, had authority over the property, labor, and mobility of not only his minor children but also his wife, servants, slaves, and the occasional debtors, indigents, or orphans the county paid him to board in the absence of institutional facilities. A H…

  • Inheriting the Revolution

    Cynthia A Kierner, Joyce ApplebyARTICLEJournal of the Early Republic2000

    The Morning After Years ago, when history writing had a more social scientific flavor, we would have called a book based on several hundred life stories prosopography.The author would have reduced the life paths to a series of elements and counted how many of the subjects were farmers, rose or fell in social status, moved from country to city, served in the army, married a spouse from another town, and so on

  • Beyond the Household

    Jean R Soderlund, Cynthia A KiernerARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2000

    Much has been written about the lady, that pervasive and enduring icon of antebellum regional identity. But how did the lady get on her pedestal-and were the lives of white southern women always so different from those of their northern contemporaries? In her ambitious new book, Cynthia A. Kierner charts the evolution of the lives of white southern women through the colonial, revolutionary, and early republican eras. Using the lady on her pedesta…
