Section Information for Spring 2022

This course provides a graduate level introduction to the history and historiography of the American Revolution. We will explore the frameworks that twentieth- and twenty-first-century historians have used to understand the political, social, and cultural transformations of the Revolutionary era, covering the period from roughly the beginning of the Seven Years War through the “settling” of the Revolution in the early nineteenth century. In addition to tracing classic political, intellectual, and social interpretations, we will look at how recent work on race and gender has complicated straightforward stories of the Revolution and how current Atlantic, continental, and world-historical frameworks might suggest new ways of interpreting and understanding the Revolution.
