‘This book amounts to an intellectual autobiography….These pieces are thus a statement of what I have thought about early Americans during nearly seventy years in their company, ‘ writes historian Edmund S. Morgan in the introduction to this landmark collection.The Genuine Article gathers together twenty-five of Morgan’s finest essays over forty years, commenting brilliantly on everything from Jamestown to James Madison. In revealing the private lives of ‘Those Sexy Puritans’ and ‘The Price of Honor’ on Southern plantations,
The Genuine Article details the daily lives of early Americans, along with ‘The Great Political Fiction’ that continues to this day.
