Editorial Reviews

Review


"Professor Fischer's careful research and analysis opens a much needed discussion of cultural character and origins in North America. The variety and complexity of historical sources will inform the work of other cultural historians and analysts."Nadesan Permaul, UC Berkeley


"This is history at a lively pace, peppered with curious details about the origins of families. The author makes a convincing case."Dolores and Roger Flaherty,
Chicago Sun-Times


"A pleasure to read, for it is written with Fischer's characteristic perspicuity. Moreover, the numerous drawings by Jennifer Brody and maps by Andrew Mudryk are a visual treat."Raymond A. Mohl,
Review Essay


"The kind of book one can open to almost any page and immediately become engrossed readers will enjoy and benefit from this book. We eagerly await volume two."Neil R. Stout,
Vermont History


"Holds up to readers a mirror in which they can discover in themselves and in their own world the persistence of their heritage. An engrossing work that will whet the appetite for more."
The National Genealogical Society Quarterly


"Ingenious and provocative. Raises matters of cardinal interest."
The Times Literary Supplement


"A splendid work of historical scholarship based on an original conception of cultural history which I find extremely usable. Eminently readable."Omer Hadziselimovic,
Earlham College [see review card for accents on last name]


"[A] sprightly analysis. This is history at a lively pace, peppered with curious details about the origins of familiar words and practices. The author makes a convincing case for his claim that `in a cultural sense most Americans are Albion's seed."
Chicago Sun-Times


"One of the most interesting, important, and ambitious books about American cultural and social origins ever written. A richly rewarding book, and one of great significance. It blends the best of new and old scholarship in lucid language designed to attract laymen and students alike. Very simply,
Albion's Seed is a splendid achievement."Michael Kammen, New York Newsday


"David Hackett Fischer's book could not be much bigger or more ambitious. It is the first in a series of volumes that he hopes will eventually constitute a cultural history of the United States. This book starts his series with a banga big bang remarkable. A revisionist blockbuster."Gordon Wood,
The New Republic


"Beautifully produced, this work should popularize the discoveries of a generation of scholars in the new social history. Anyone interested in these four cultures of the Anglo-American colonists will find here population data, family life, community mores, and achetypical individuals, portrayed in a clear and often lively text, thoughtfully analyzed illustrations, and wonderful maps."Stephen Saunders Webb,
Washington Post Book World
