Two time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Bernard Bailyn has distilled a lifetime of study into this brilliant illumination of the ideas and world of the Founding Fathers. In five succinct essays he reveals the origins, depth, and global impact of their extraordinary creativity.
The opening essay illuminates the central importance of America’s provincialism to the formation of a truly original political system. In the chapters following, he explores the ambiguities and achievements of Jefferson’s career, Benjamin Franklin’s changing image and supple diplomacy, the circumstances and impact of the Federalist Papers, and the continuing influence of American constitutional thought throughout the Atlantic world. To Begin the World Anew enlivens our appreciation of how America came to be and deepens our understanding of the men who created it.
Review:
"Bailyn's distinctive voice, as level-headed and acute as ever, works as both a stimulant and a balm, wrapped in an umbra of intellectual integrity."
Kirkus, 11/01/2002
Review:''TO BEGIN THE WORLD ANEW, a slim and handsome volume, is a collection of what Bailyn calls ''sketches'' on issues arising out of his lifework....The best of these essays are like after-dinner speeches by a guest of honor who knows his subject so well that he can treat it lightly, and who has brought excellent slides with him."
Richard Brookhiser, New York Times Book Review, 02/16/2003
