Black Majority at Half a Century
Visions in a Seer Stone
William L. Davis has published an astoundingly good book, one of the best works of religious and intellectual history I have read in years. Visions in a Seer Stone engages a range of academic fields, historical methods, and exegetical close readings in examining the development of the Book of Mormon, and above all helps his readers understand the dynamics of American religious culture during Joseph Smith's lifetime. In the end, he develops an arg…
Building America
Benjamin Henry Latrobe was one of those early American figures whose talents, outsized personality, and rises and falls reveal much about the new United States. Jean H. Baker argues that he ought to be considered “a founder of the republic—not of political ideas but of the neoclassical buildings and substantial internal improvements that expressed those ideals” (p. 1). Latrobe's work as an architect and designer had an indelible effect on the nat…
The Transatlantic Celebrity of Mr. O
This essay examines the career of James Ogilvie, an innovative orator of the early nineteenth century—one of the first performers to attain celebrity in the United States—who subsequently sought to transfer his fame to Britain. Whereas most scholars scrutinise the phenomenon of celebrity by focusing on its reliance on print and consumer culture, this essay argues for the importance of social networks of friends, patrons and the cultivation of wor…
Kate Haulman. The Politics of Fashion in Eighteenth-Century America
The story of Americans expressing their opposition to British taxation by wearing homespun remains a popular narrative in tales of the imperial crisis preceding the revolution—perhaps nearly as popular as stories of refusing to drink English tea. Yet no matter its appeal, this story about patriotic consumer protests over clothing is oddly opaque. To be sure, parliament sought to tax imported cloth just as it did tea. But protests over English clo…
Beware the Abandoned Woman
A s the traveler Jean Mocquet sailed up the American coast near Cumaná, Venezuela, one of his shipmates told him a tragic tale about their ship’s pilot. Years before, the pilot had been the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the West Indies, near an island Mocquet felicitously calls St. John de Love in his volume Travels and Voyages (1616). Stumbling upon an Indian woman, the lost man made “her fine Promises by Signs, that he would Marry her, which …

Fight Like a Man
This article argues that a primary aspect of the early nineteenth‐century peace movement was the theory that the problem of war was perpetuated by prevailing modes of manliness. A critical aspect of this reform was to advocate an alternative, gentle masculinity – both in one’s personal interactions with others as well as one’s speech and demeanor – that saw a direct connection between war on a grand scale and personal violence or verbal aggressio…
