What We Know, What We Wish: Maine Statehood, Historical Commemoration, and the Urgency of Public History
Mobility and Coercion in an Age of Wars and Revolutions: A Global History, c. 1750–1830
The political upheavals and military confrontations that rocked the world during the decades around 1800 saw forced migrations on a massive scale. This global history brings this explosion into full view. Rather than describing coerced mobilities as an aberration in a period usually identified with quests for liberty and political participation, this book recognizes them as a crucial but hitherto under-appreciated dimension of the transformations…
The Cambridge History of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions: The Enlightenment and the British Colonies
Volume I offers an introduction to the Enlightenment, which served as the shared background for virtually all revolutionary turmoil, and the American Revolution, which inaugurated the Age of Revolutions. Beginning with a thorough introduction, the volume covers international rivalry, the importance of slavery, and the reformist mind-set that prevailed on the eve of the revolutionary era. It addresses the traditional argument on whether the Enligh…
Mark Peterson. The City-State of Boston: The Rise and Fall of an Atlantic Power, 1630–1865
Mark Peterson’s sweeping narrative, The City-State of Boston: The Rise and Fall of an Atlantic Power, 1630–1865, recovers the long arc of Boston as a city-state, a once common polity displaced by national power, and the related nation-state focus of professionalizing historians and popular memory. It offers a new way of thinking about Boston over two and a half centuries, with its fall arising from the “fateful mistake” of Massachusetts ratificat…

A Loyalist Who Loved His Country too Much: Thomas Hutchinson, Historian of Colonial Massachusetts
A history of the book approach to Thomas Hutchinson's History of Massachusetts Bay (published 1764-1828) recovers his commitment to preserve facts and his place in eighteenth-century historiography. Hutchinson's vilification by patriots still obscures our understanding of his loyalism. The article reassesses late colonial society, the American Revolution, and Anglo-American culture in the British Atlantic World
