Culture and Liberty in the Age of the American Revolution (Jeffersonian America)
A remarkable book. Rozbicki offers readers nothing less than a complete rethinking of the Revolution—a quite amazing scholarly achievement in a field so densely populated with excellent monographic literature. This is the most striking treatment of the Revolution writ large since Gordon Wood’sRadicalism of the American Revolution.(Alan Tully, University of Texas, coeditor ofCultures and Identities in Colonial British America)[This] is a major work of scholarship that should compel us to rethink what we thought we knew about the subject and one that will be read for many years to come.(Journal of American History)Rozbicki's provocative cultural-political study provides avenues for new explorations of how America's 'regular folk' perceived and applied their notions of liberty to their new nation.(The Historian)A significant contribution to our understanding of the period and its processes, Rozbicki's argument is an ambitious and subtle one that inspires reflection much more than off-the-cuff reaction.(Virginia Magazine of History & Biography)
