How the New World Became Old
The Cambridge History of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions
Volume I offers an introduction to the Enlightenment, which served as the shared background for virtually all revolutionary turmoil, and the American Revolution, which inaugurated the Age of Revolutions. Beginning with a thorough introduction, the volume covers international rivalry, the importance of slavery, and the reformist mind-set that prevailed on the eve of the revolutionary era. It addresses the traditional argument on whether the Enligh…
Democratic Vistas
After a generation of grand stories about the rise of modern republican thought (the so-called “republican-synthesis” school epitomized by the works of Gordon Wood and J. G. A. Pocock), James Kloppenberg's new book, Toward Democracy: The Struggle for Self-Rule in European and American Thought , offers a history of democratic thought: what Kloppenberg calls “the idea of self-government.” In the course of nearly a thousand pages of text and notes, …
Historical Research in a Digital Age
What can a big data approach bring to the study of the early modern Republic of Letters? This is the question we asked ourselves in our collaborative project Mapping the Republic of Letters. For the past nine years, we have been exploring the limits and possibilities of computation and visualization for studying early modern correspondences, whose massive and dispersed character have long challenged their students. Beyond cliometrics, what new wa…
Where Is America in the Republic of Letters
Where is America in the republic of letters? This question has formed in my mind over the last four years as I have collaborated on a new project based at Stanford University called Mapping the Republic of Letters. The project aims to enrich our understanding of the intellectual networks of major and minor figures in the republic of letters, the international world of learning that spanned the centuries roughly from 1400 to 1800. By creating visu…

The Mirror of Antiquity
In The Mirror of Antiquity , Caroline Winterer uncovers the lost world of American women's classicism during its glory days from the eighteenth through the nineteenth centuries. Overturning the widely held belief that classical learning and political ideals were relevant only to men, she follows the lives of four generations of American women through their diaries, letters, books, needlework, and drawings, demonstrating how classicism was at the …

On the Wings of Time
Knowledge of the Greco-Roman past played a major role in helping early modern Europeans to sort the vast array of New World novelties into a coherent order. But classicism was no monolithic, unchanging tradition imposed by conquering elites to dominate indigenous cultures. In her new book, On the Wings of Time: Rome, the Incas, Spain, and Peru, Sabine MacCormack presents a far more nuanced view of the legacy of Greco-Roman antiquity in the Andean…

Venus on the Sofa
What did early national Americans mean when they articulated fears of “luxury and effeminacy,” those twin sins of a republic that idolized the classical virtues of manly self-restraint? This essay argues that the fear of luxury and effeminacy circulated not just as airy metaphor but as palpable reality, specifically in the figure of the female recumbent on the sofa. The article traces separately the careers of Enlightenment Venus, who especially …

The Problem of the Past in the Modern University
Between 1860 and 1900 Americans witnessed a revolution that ushered in a new type of university and a new academic order. During those years, the increasingly nonsectarian, scientific, and utilitarian university supplanted the denominationally affiliated liberal arts college as America's preeminent institution of higher learning. Many of the architects of this new university, whose ranks included university presidents, faculty, and civic leaders,…
Victorian Antigone
IN THE MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY, ANTIGONE SUDDENLY SURFACED AS AN IMPORTANT rhetorical figure in America. The heroine of Sophocles' eponymous Greek tragedy, Antigone was a dutiful sister who defied the state to attend to her family and religious conscience. After 1840, she began to appear in American scholarship and college courses, general interest and women's periodicals, novels, short stories, and poetry, reaching an apotheosis in the early twen…
A happy medium
The career, teaching, and writing of Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929), sociologist at the University of Michigan, show that a middle ground between broadly integrative, general knowledge and specialized knowledge prevailed well into the early twentieth century, both at the level of professional social science and within the modern university curriculum. Cooley's social science rested upon introspection and the study of art and literature, and he…

"Avoiding a "Hothouse System of Education
Histories of education in United States have often focused upon role of nineteenth-century urbanization and industrialization in accelerating educational innovation. In keeping with this trend, historians of kindergarten have attributed success of this institution to several factors. The kindergarten, based on pedagogy of German educator Friedrich Froebel, was first introduced in United States from Germany in 1860 and by 1914 was entrenched in mo…
