Autorenporträt
Frederick Jackson Turner (1861–1932) was a pivotal figure in American historiography, renowned for his innovative analysis of the American frontier and its role in shaping the character of American democracy. A professor of history at the University of Wisconsin and later at Harvard, Turner's scholarship was marked by a dynamic synthesis of economic, political, and social history. His seminal essay, 'The Significance of the Frontier in American History', revolutionized the understanding of the American West by postulating that the moving frontier line shaped American institutions and character. Turner's scholarly pursuits extended to a study of early American trade, as exemplified by his monograph 'The Character and Influence of the Indian Trade in Wisconsin' (1891), wherein he investigated the intercultural dynamics between European traders and Native Americans, and how these exchanges affected regional economics and social structures. Turner's work was characterized by a lucid prose style and an emphasis on the synthesis of broad historical forces. He was elected a member of the American Historical Association and served as its president, solidifying his legacy as a foundational thinker in American historiography. His influence persists in the ongoing scholarly debates concerning the frontier's role in American identity and development.
