Rezensionen
"Leibiger's volume manages to be at once authoritative and innovative. It brings together a remarkable roster of experts to present a trove of original, often pathbreaking essays on our fourth and fifth presidents. The juxtaposition of Madison and Monroe?neighbors, colleagues, sometime rivals?is a canny editorial choice, destabilizing old assumptions and providing unexpected insights into the founding era." -- Robert P. Forbes, University of Connecticut

"These finely-crafted essays can be read either as two complete biographies or as thirty-two beacons illuminating the political thought and private and public lives of America's fourth and fifth presidents." -- John Kaminski, University of Wisconsin

"This superbly edited collection of essays by noted scholars provides state-of-the-art assessments that illuminate their topics, make original arguments, and will become the starting point for future work." -- Todd Estes, Oakland University
"For this reason, A Companion to JamesMadison and James Monroe should find a home in every academic library in theUnited States." (Journal of American History, 5 November 2013)
