Michael D. Hattem. The Memory of ‘76: The Revolution in American History
The Loyalist Problem in Revolutionary New England
Thomas N. Ingersoll's The Loyalist Problem in Revolutionary New England contributes to the growing body of scholarship on the Loyalists of the American Revolution by examining revolutionary perceptions and treatment of them in New England, with the aim of realizing the historian Robert Calhoon's long-unheeded call to integrate the Loyalists into our understanding of the Revolution as a whole. He makes a provocative argument about how Loyalist hos…
Daniel Kilbride. Being American in Europe, 1750–1860
In Being American in Europe, 1750–1860, Daniel Kilbride illuminates the complex relationship between America and Europe by examining the experiences of American travelers to Great Britain and the Continent between 1750 and 1860. Throughout his analysis, he demonstrates how American travelers for the most part used these experiences not simply to confirm their preconceptions about the relationship between Europe and their own society, but also to …
Historiography: A Field in Search of a Historian
Richard Kirkendall's collection of essays, The Organization of American Historians and the Writing and Teaching of American History, examines the history of the Organization of American Historians (OAH) from its founding to the present, using that history to illuminate how the writing of American history has changed over the last hundred years. The book provides coverage of all the major dimensions of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association…
Exceptional History? The Origins of Historiography in the United States1
This essay examines how and why historiography-defined to mean the study of the history of historical writing-first emerged as a legitimate subject of historical inquiry in the United States during the period from 1890 to the 1930s by focusing on the practice of historiography by three of the most influential American historiographers whose work spans this period: J. Franklin Jameson, John Spencer Bassett, and Harry Elmer Barnes. Whereas the deve…
Virtue in Silence: Voice and Femininity in Ling Shuhua's Boudoir Fiction
New Culture intellectuals avidly promoted new narratives and models of femininity as the cornerstone of a new culture; the gender discourse they advocated, however, continued to be refracted through traditional notions of femininity and writing. This paper examines the means by which one woman writer, Ling Shuhua, attempted to navigate the contradictions of this discourse, to forge her identity as a modern woman writer. The shifting nature of Lin…
Viola Florence Barnes, 1885-1979: A Historian's Biography
John G. Reid's biography of the historian Viola Florence Barnes provides a useful and informative analysis of Barnes in her context. Drawing on recent scholarship in women's history, Reid makes gender central to understanding Barnes's life. While Reid emphasizes the importance of separate women's institutions to Barnes's intellectual and personal development, he does not idealize the existence or influence of a separate women's culture on Barnes.…
American Historical Writers and the Loyalists, 1788-1856: Dissent, Consensus, and American Nationality
In an 1843 review of George Atkinson Ward's memoir of loyalist Samuel Curwen, William Ware wrote of Curwen,He was at heart, we think, his toryism notwithstanding, a real sound American. What we have said of him, same thing of course should we say of all loyalists . . . . Violent and vindictive as many of Patriots were, such some of loyalists must have been. But all this does not hinder that their sufferings and privations for conscience' sake,-if…
