Reseña del editor:
A passionate and unparalleled look at the lives of the American colonists by the best-selling author of Benjamin Franklin. "This book amounts to an intellectual autobiography....These pieces are thus a statement of what I have thought about early Americans during nearly seventy years in their company," writes historian Edmund S. Morgan. Dividing his work into twenty-four essays with sections on "New Englanders," "Southerners," and "Revolutionaries," Morgan examines the history of the American colonies from the arrival of the first settlers in 1607 to the radical changes brought forth by the American Revolution. Filled with illuminating discussions of American leaders, including Winthrop, Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, the book is extraordinary in its rangefrom the (quite lusty) sex lives of the Puritans to the witch trials in Salem and the corrosive effects of slavery on the soul of Virginia. No living historian has had a more profound role in shaping our perceptions of the American colonies than Morgan, and The Genuine Article reflects the genius of this modest giant like no other previous work.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. "This book amounts to an intellectual autobiography. . . . These pieces are thus a statement of what I have thought about early Americans during nearly seventy years in their company," writes Edmund S. Morgan in his introduction to THE GENUINE ARTICLE, the title not only of this book but also of a remarkably insightful essay devoted to our country's first president, George Washington. While Morgan has chosen to describe Washington, a charismatic yet deeply enigmatic figure, as "the genuine article," the same term can easily be applied to Morgan himself, who has done more to shape the study of early American history than any historian since Perry Miller, whose career was tragically cut short in 1963. Assuming Miller's mantle, Morgan -- through twenty books, including THE PURITAN DILEMMA AND AMERICAN SLAVERY, AMERICAN FREEDOM, and through over one hundred essays that first appeared in professional journals and the NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS -- has literally refashioned our understanding of colonial and Revolutionary history. Here, in THE GENUINE ARTICLE, his first collection of essays in several decades, Morgan presents a rich and thrilling story that begins with the arrival of the first settlers in 1607 at the doomed Jamestown colony and ends as the Founding Fathers begin the arduous task of governing a formerly rebellious and often restless people. Divided into four sections on "New Englanders," "Southerners," "Revolutionaries," and "Questions of Culture," these twenty-four essays present an extraordinary thematic range -- from "Those Sexy Puritans," an eye-opening account of the often bawdy sex lives of the Puritans, to "The Secrets of Benjamin Franklin," a model piece that would provide the framework for Morgan's best-selling biography, to an insightful essay on the divergent philosophies of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Of particular interest is Morgan's section on the American South. While Perry Miller was able, by the end ot his career, to confer a respectability on the Puritans that they had previously never had, Morgan has had a similar influence in forcing his and successive generations of historians to analyze the corrosive effect of colonial slavery on the economic and social future of the nation. Morgan dissects, engages, and grapples with other historians over their own interpretations of early America, in some cases challenging them, in others lauding them -- in all cases reanimating vanished worlds and illuminating the lives of early Americans. Viewed as a whole, THE GENUINE ARTICLE is a remarkable achievement. Nº de ref. del artículo: 000555
