Trends within judicial decisions, legal treatises, and justice of the peace manuals suggest that the American Revolution contributed to a decline in the state's willingness to intervene on behalf of victims of domestic violence. Pointing to the America…
The Origins of Feminism and the Limits of Enlightenment
The publication of the collection of essays Women, Gender and Enlightenment (ed. Sarah Knott and Barbara Taylor, Houndsmills: Palgrave MacMillan, 2005) affords an unusual opportunity to confront a myriad of interrelated issues, at once definitional and ideological, that face intellectual historians of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe and America.

cive, or transgressive sexuality, concentrating on themes of diversity and oppression.1 My subject is instead sexual legitimacy broadly defined. By this I mean much more than legal sanctions or explicit prescriptions. While the formal rules governing sexual practices changed a little during the colonial period, on the whole they remained consistent: sex was sanctioned only in marriage, which meant that it had to be monogamous, heterosexual, racia…

The Social and Political Base of Millennial Literature in Late Eighteenth-Century America
HOW AMERICANS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD ENVISIONED THE FUTURE has long been a matter of lively historical debate. No sooner was the Revolution underway than an argument arose about whether its goal was to recover the past or to initiate a new age. On various levels of public and scholarly discourse, this discussion has continued into the present. Among recent historians, it has increasingly revolved around the question of millennialism.'
