Editorial Reviews

Review


"A fresh and original book that sets the agenda for the next generation of American political historians. I especially liked the three historiographical chapters, which are models of the form, notable for their broad range and for their fairness even toward authors with whom Professor McCormick
disagrees."--David Herbert Donald, Harvard University


"Anyone teaching a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in American political history will want to assign this set of nine gracefully written essays....McCormick's knowledgeable assessments of the state of the field, his perceptive summaries and gentle critiques of the writings of others, and
his provocative original hypothesis about 'Progressivism' suggest questions that are sure to be high on the research agenda for political history in the next decade or more....Perhaps the most stimulating series of essays of this decade by an American political historian."--The Journal of American
History


"McCormick is one of the most astute analysts of American political history and historiography in the profession today, and therefore this collection of nine essays...is most welcome."--Journal of the Early Republic


"An important work, which has crossed the boundaries of a number of disciplines in bringing contemporary economic and statistical methods to examine the data in Domesday."--Times Higher Education Supplement


"These essays document the emergence of...McCormick as a leading interpreter of American political history....[He] is a skilled synthesizer. And he properly concludes from his reconnaissance of the field that policy warrants high priority on our research agendas."--Civil War History


"McCormick is a...penetrating analyst."--CHOICE

From the Back Cover

These boldly argued essays describe and analyze key developments in American politics and government during an era when political parties commanded mass loyalties and wielded unprecedented power over government affairs. McCormick follows the major parties from their emergence in the 1820s and 1830s to their transformation almost a century later, discussing the nature of governance and sorting out the complex relationships between politics and policy during the 'party period.'
