Produktbeschreibung

The essays collected in this reader represent the extraordinary vitality of recent historical literature on early America, and suggest ways of synthesizing the vast proliferation of knowledge. Phillip Morgan explores the history of previously neglected groups, and uses methods of historical demography or historical anthropology to yield rich results. As the horizons of scholarship have expanded to encompass the intimate details of everyday life, and the beliefs and ideas of ordinary people, the knowledge gained by these advances are fitted into the broader patterns of interpretation.
