Paperback. Zustand: New. Winner of the Bancroft PrizeWinner of the James Bradford Best Biography Prize, Society for Historians of the Early American RepublicFinalist, Literary Award for Nonfiction, Library of VirginiaFinalist, George Washington PrizeJames Madison's Notes on the 1787 Constitutional Convention have long been treated as the definitive account of the Constitution's creation. No other document offers a fuller record of the deliberations in Philadelphia or portrays the Convention's charismatic figures, crushing disappointments, and hard-won compromises with such narrative force. But how reliable is this record? In a groundbreaking study that combines digital tools with traditional textual analysis, Mary Sarah Bilder shows that Madison revised his Notes far more extensively than scholars had realized. Initially kept as a near-daily diary, the Notes were abandoned at a crucial point and left unfinished. Madison returned to them only years later, largely with Thomas Jefferson in mind as his audience-by which time his thinking had been reshaped by the new government's early struggles and Jefferson's political ideas. His evolving vision of republican government, his Virginia allegiances, his openness to constitutional protections for slavery, his interest in political maneuvering, and his portrayals of figures such as Alexander Hamilton and Charles Pinckney all shifted through successive rounds of revision. When the Notes were finally published in 1840, the layers of revision were invisible. Madison's Hand uncovers the history of this influential manuscript and shows how a single, much-reworked document came to dominate our understanding of the Constitution's origins.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. In this provocative new biography, Mary Sarah Bilder looks to the 1780s-the Age of the Constitution-to investigate the rise of a radical new idea in the English-speaking world: female genius. Bilder finds the perfect exemplar of this phenomenon in English-born Eliza Harriot Barons O'Connor. This pathbreaking female educator delivered a University of Pennsylvania lecture attended by George Washington as he and other Constitutional Convention delegates gathered in Philadelphia. As the first such public female lecturer, her courageous performance likely inspired the gender-neutral language of the Constitution. Female Genius reconstructs Eliza Harriot's transatlantic life, from Lisbon to Charleston, paying particular attention to her lectures and to the academies she founded, inspiring countless young American women to consider a college education and a role in the political forum. Promoting the ideas made famous by Mary Wollstonecraft, Eliza Harriot brought the concept of female genius to the United States. Its advocates argued that women had equal capacity and deserved an equal education and political representation. Its detractors, who feared it undermined male political power, felt deeply threatened. By 1792 Eliza Harriot experienced struggles that reflected the larger backlash faced by women and people of color as new written constitutions provided the political and legal tools for exclusion based on sex, gender, and race.In recovering this pioneering life, the richly illustrated Female Genius makes clear that America's framing moment did not belong solely to white men and offers an inspirational transatlantic history of women who believed in education as a political right.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. [Interesting provenance: From the private library of renowned historian, Philip D. Morgan.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Jacket sunned. Scattered underlining and markings, some in ink. xiii, 291 p., 24 cm. "In The Transatlantic Constitution: Colonial Legal Culture and the Empire, Mary Sarah Bilder finds evidence for a transatlantic constitutional culture that influenced everything from the intellectual formation of colonial lawyers and judges, to the course of appeals of inheritance cases, to the beginnings of judicial review in the early Republic. The argument is lucidly presented and clearly compelling. The clarity of Bilder's argument will make the book, and the tradition of legal constitutional history of empire from which it emanates, compelling to scholars outside the field of American legal history." - Lauren Benton, Law & Social Inquiry From the professional library of Dr. Philip D. Morgan, a professor of History at Johns Hopkins University. Morgan specializes in the African-American experience, the history of slavery, the early Caribbean, and the study of the early Atlantic world. Morgan is the author of more than 14 books on Colonial America and African American history. He has won both the Bancroft Prize and the Frederick Douglass Prize for his book Slave Counterpoint: Black Culture in the Eighteenth-Century Chesapeake and Lowcountry (1998).…

Winner of the Bancroft PrizeWinner of the James Bradford Best Biography Prize, Society for Historians of the Early American RepublicFinalist, Literary Award for Nonfiction, Library of VirginiaFinalist, George Washington PrizeJames Madison's Notes on the 1787 Constitutional Convention have acquired nearly unquestioned authority as the description of the U.S. Constitution's creation. No document provides a more complete record of the deliberations in Philadelphia or depicts the Convention's charismatic figures, crushing disappointments, and miraculous triumphs with such narrative force. But how reliable is this account?"[A] superb study of the Constitutional Convention as selectively reflected in Madison's voluminous notes on it Scholars have been aware that Madison made revisions in the Notes but have not intensively explored them. Bilder has looked closely indeed at the Notes and at his revisions, and the result is this lucid, subtle book. It will be impossible to view Madison's role at the convention and read his Notes in the same uncomplicated way again An accessible and brilliant rethinking of a crucial moment in American history."-Robert K.
