The Spirit of Their Fathers Moves Within Them”: The Radical Conservatism of the Virginia Populists
Evangelical Protestantism helped frame the thinking of many Populist Party members in Virginia, providing them with a prophetic voice that criticized the political and economic status quo, while also furnishing a traditional language that privileged rural custom and community. Rowland Berthoff once characterized American Populism as a “mixture of static peasant-Puritan-republican nostalgia and dynamic secular-millennial progressivism.” This artic…
Traditionalist Dissent: The Reorientation of American Conservatism, 1865–1900
The last couple of decades has brought a renewed interest in American conservatism among historians. Yet most recent studies have focused on the emergence of neoconservatism after World War II and virtually no recent scholarly work has pursued the history of conservatism before the 1920s. Both Richard Hofstadter and Clinton Rossiter agreed that the late nineteenth century was an important watershed in the evolution of American conservative though…
Righteous Indignation: Religion and the Populist Revolution
Righteous Indignation uncovers what motivated conservative, mostly middle-class southern farmers to revolt against the Democratic Party by embracing the radical, even revolutionary biracial politics of the People's Party in the 1890s. While other historians of Populism have looked to economics, changing markets, or various ideals to explain this phenomenon, in Righteous Indignation, Joe Creech posits evangelical religion as the motive force behin…

We cannot spare you: Phillips Brooks's Break with the Evangelical Party, 1859-1873
Despite renewed scholarly interest in Evangelical Episcopalianism recently, important questions persist about the party's demise in the last third of the nineteenth century. Though church historians have advanced some plausible explanations for its disappearance, these interpretations need now to be tested by more narrowly focused studies of individuals, both committed party men and their less partisan allies. Concomitant questions also linger ab…
The Young Phillips Brooks: A Reassessment
Phillips Brooks was undeniably one of the most popular preachers of Gilded Age America. Sydney Ahlstrom described Brooks and the liberal Congregationalist Henry Ward Beecher as ‘in a class by themselves, envied and emulated the country over’. Unlike Beecher, however, the rector of Trinity Church, Boston, subsequently Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts, has attracted remarkably little scholarly attention. His few biographers have rarely attempted t…
Revolt against Modernity: Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, and the Search for a Postliberal Order
Eric Voegelin and Leo Strauss are two of the most provocative and durable political philosophers of this century. Ted McAllister's superbly written study provides the first comprehensive comparison of their thought and its profound influence on contemporary American conservatism. Since the appearance in the 1950s of Strauss's Natural Right and History and Voegelin's Order and History, conservatives like Russell Kirk, Irving Kristol, and Allan Blo…

Patrician Partisans: New York in the House of Representatives, 1789-1803
American historians continue to differ about whether the politics of the founding era were fundamentally elitist or democratic in character. While both state-focused and national studies have appeared over the years, few analyses have attempted to delineate how state politicians became integrated into the new national government. This article addresses this lacuna in the literature through a systematic examination of the New York delegation to th…
The Church of Humanity: New York's Worshipping Positivists
The philosophy of Auguste Comte changed irrevocably the intellectual contours of nineteenth-century Europe. In the Anglo-American world, John Stuart Mill was profoundly influenced by Comte's magisterial Cours de philosophie positive (1830-1842) and Mill's work became an important conduit through which Americans such as John Fiske, Lester F. Ward and Henry Adams encountered positivism. Comte's controversial later work (especially the Systéme de po…
