Tea Sets and Tyranny: The Politics of Politeness in Early America
Stephen C. Bullock's exploration of the politics of politeness in British America informs six biographies illustrating its practice in relation to power: those of Francis Nicholson, Thomas Nairne, William Byrd, Jonathan Belcher, Tom Bell, and Eliza Lucas Pinckney. All have figured in other histories of British America. These portraits form a Plutarchian gallery that reveal not the clash of public virtue and private vice but the contest of polite …
Southern Provisions: The Creation and Revival of a Cuisine
Texting a Nation
Since its publication in 2007, Trish Loughran's The Republic in Print has earned a reputation as a trenchant critique of the vision of the pre-1876 United States as a state whose national integrity depended upon the dissemination of print. Commentators fixed particularly on its argument that the early republic never manifested that degree of integration of internal improvements, roads, print technology, and local interests to materialize the Fede…

Readers today know Franklin well in his role…

The Empire of Early American Studies
scholars are currently questioning older histories of cartography that highlighted the development of more objective and complete understandings of the physical world in the early modern and modern periods and are emphasizing instead the socially constructed character of European maps and of European geographic ideas. Lastly, a topic: when early Americanists consider the scientific exploration of North America, many will think first of the eighte…

Anglo-American Clubs: Their Wit, Their Heterodoxy, Their Sedition
H ' OW did the public sphere form? How did a social space come clear of direct state superintendence so that popular opinion-the vox populi-could sound?

Cosmopolitanism and the Anglo-Jewish Elite in British America
During the eighteenth century, cosmopolitanism contributed to the attenuation of ethnicity as a ground of self-understanding. My concern here is to determine how literary neoclassicism assisted in the cosmopolite project of overcoming indigenous identity. I will also illustrate some effective limits of cosmopolitanism by examining the self-expression of members of the Levy-Franks family, British America’s wealthiest and most articulate Jewish cla…
