Críticas

"This excellent collection of essays covers the sweep of New Jersey history from the colonial, proprietary era to the recent politics of Mount Laurel. It brings together some of the finest writing on the state, and raises questions relevant to major themes in American history more generally. Maxine N. Lurie has provided an excellent introductory essay to contextualize each piece in the collection, and each essay also comes with suggestions for further reading on the topic." - Paul G. E. Clemens, history department, Rutgers University "An absolutely superb collection in every aspect, A New Jersey Anthology covers all of the chronological and topical bases with remarkable comprehensiveness. Its contributions are not only appropriate to the purpose of the book; they have the additional merit of being very significant pieces of scholarship on their own, not only in the history of New Jersey but in American history in general.... Maxine Lurie's illuminating headnotes for each article, which include not only shrewd interpretive insights but also biographical references, set this book significantly apart." - Douglas Greenberg, Dean of Arts and Sciences, Rutgers University"
