Impeachment: American Crime Story
During the quarter century separating Watergate from Whitewater, the powers of the American presidency mushroomed while the subjects of our political energies telescoped. A latter-day Nora Desmond might pinpoint the precise moment when the pictures got small—the first time, as melodrama, the next as soap opera. Compare, for example, the big-screen political thriller All the President's Men (1976), which enraptured audiences in the year of the nat…
Movie Review Essay: Mrs. America
Fashion bloggers love Mrs. America, the nine-part miniseries on the gender politics of the 1970s that dropped on Hulu in April 2020.1 And for good reason: show runner Dahvi Waller, part of the Mad Men creative team during that show's glorious middle seasons, can feel and taste and even smell the United States at midcentury. With abundant visual source material to mine, Waller's Mrs. America speaks volumes through its fond use of period food, hair…

The Art of Family: Genealogical Artifacts in New England
Secrets of the Dead II: Witches Curse
Be afraid, be very afraid: the ergot theory of the Salem witch trials is back. The claim that tainted bread caused the events of 1692 is one of history's undead. The hypothesis first appeared in Science in 1976, resurfaced in American Scientist in 1982, and took book form in 1989. Long discredited by historians and scientists alike, it gets its silliest airing yet in this hour-long shock-u-mentary. The premise is simple. To scholars who have offe…

Sex and Sexuality in Early America
What role did sexual assault play in the conquest of America? How did American attitudes toward female sexuality evolve, and how was sexuality regulated in the early Republic? Sex and sexuality have always been the subject of much attention, both scholarly and popular. Yet, accounts of the early years of the United States tend to overlook the importance of their influence on the shaping of American culture. Sex and Sexuality in Early America addr…
