Whither the Early Republic consists of innovative essays on all aspects of the culture and society of this period, including Indians and empire, the economy and the environment, slavery and culture, and gender and urban life. Penned by leading historians, the essays are arranged thematically to reflect areas of change and growth in the field.Throughout the book, preeminent scholars act as guides for students to their areas of expertise. Contributors include Pulitzer Prize-winner Alan Taylor, Bancroft Prize-winner James Brooks, Christopher Clark, Ted Steinberg, Walter Johnson, Patricia Cline Cohen, David Waldstreicher, and more. These essays, all originally commissioned to appear in a special issue of the Journal of the Early Republic, explore a diverse array of subjects: the struggles for control of North America; the economic culture of the early Republic; the interactions of humans with plants, climate, animals, and germs; the commodification of people; and the complex intersections of politics and culture.Whither the Early Republic offers a wealth of tools for introducing a new generation of historians to the nature of the field and also to the wide array of possibilities that lie in the future for scholars of this fascinating period. 606 $aHISTORY / United States / Revolutionary Period (1775-1800)$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y1783-1865$xHistoriography 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$yTo 1783$xHistoriography 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y1783-1865$xHistoriography 607 $aUnited States$xHistory 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / Revolutionary Period (1775-1800). 676 $a973.072073 701 $aLarson$b John Lauritz$f1950-$01519677 701 $aMorrison$b Michael A.$f1948-$040453 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779142703321 996 $aWhither the early republic$93757923 997 $aUNINA
