Ratification’s Reason
This article argues that the capacity of ratification to generate and ground legal legitimacy is poorly explained by existing modes of analysis such as historiography and political theory, and that it can instead be better explained by assessing ratification as an act of legal poiesis, a formal and poetic making of legitimacy theorized in terms of poetics. To develop this contention, it articulates a poetic model of ratification and considers a s…
Christopher Phillips. The Rivers Ran Backward: The Civil War and the Remaking of the American Middle Border
Several historians have produced extensive accounts of the military operations and guerrilla wars in the Civil War’s western theater—that is, the region from the Appalachian Mountains to the states along the Mississippi River. Few, though, have seriously considered the war’s long-term impact on the area. Christopher Phillips, a leading scholar of the nineteenth-century border states, seeks to fill this void in The Rivers Ran Backward: The Civil W…

Emily Donelson of Tennessee
Emily Donelson of Tennessee. By Pauline Wilcox Burke. Edited by Jonathan M. Atkins. (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 2001. Pp. xx, 358. Illustrations. $35.00.) In 1941, Pauline Wilcox Burke published a two-volume account of life of her great-grandmother, Emily Donelson. Burke's ancestor was no ordinary southern woman. Donelson was a favorite niece of Andrew Jackson and had married her first cousin, Andrew Jackson Donelson, nephew of and…

Thomas Lanier Clingman: Eater from Carolina Mountains. By Thomas E. Jeffrey. (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1999. Pp. xi, 450. Illustrations. $50.00.) At minimum, Thomas E. Jeffrey deserves commendation for devoting a decade to compose a biography of such unlikable person. Egotistical, eccentric, and thin-skinned, Fire Eater From Carolina Mountains emerges from this book as at heart arrogant, self-serving politician. Never married, Clingma…
