Interpretations of American History: Patterns &… by Frances G. Couvares
Useful but flawed. I understand a new edition has appeared, and it was needed. Desperately.
Outlines three major periods in the evolution of an indigenous American intellectual tradition between 1629-1865 -- the end of the Civil War. Puritanism, and the creeds of the European Enlightenment, were supplanted by ideas of Romanticism, then absorbed into a unique believe in individualism, pragmatism, and expansive destiny. The author provides a compilation of works by American authors.
