Vitalism in America
For more than a decade, the New York–based freethinker Elihu Palmer (1764–1806) lectured and wrote on “vitalism,” the idea that a divine life force inheres in the tiny particles of matter that comprise everything in the universe. The idea was transformative, Palmer believed. When people recognize that all creatures are made of the same eternal and divinely propelled particles, they will radically change their behavior toward all living things. Pa…
Emily Clark. The Strange History of the American Quadroon
This smart book surprises in many ways. Emily Clark uses a wide range of sources to uncover the myth and the reality of women in early New Orleans who fell into the category of one-quarter white, or “quadroon.” Assumed from the nineteenth century into the twentieth to be an exotic and lascivious “fancy lady” whose sexual services had long been available for purchase in the Crescent City, the quadroon in fact has a much shorter history and a more …
Religion Governed by Terror”
L’article porte sur Elihu Palmer, l’un des plus ardents promoteurs du déisme dans les premières années de la République américaine.

tions in early America has begun to place sexuality in the context of the larger imperialist project. Nation, race, and sexuality in the colonies intersected in ways that are now receiving the careful investigation they deserve. Both the legal regulations and the social repercussions of sexual relations, it is clear, were part of the colonizing process. Trade relations, colonial land policy, intercultural negotiations and conflict, along with cha…
In Retrospect
Francis Jennings was a dragon-slayer, a man whose foe seemed to rise up over and over again like the multi-headed Hydra of Herculean legend. Indeed, his bêtes noires over the years were legends (and the historians who promoted them), especially myths of righteous European colonists seeking liberty in a land of roaming Indian savages. If it is hard to imagine today that this was once the standard plot in a widely shared narrative of early American…
