Dear Academic,

I am delighted to present our new American Studies catalogue.

Our publishing across the literary, cultural, social, political and

economic history of the Americas continues to develop, and we

hope that this catalogue showcases our diverse range of titles inthese subjects.

Of particular note among our recent monographs are Daniel

OConnell and the Anti-Slavery Movement (p.5),Anglo-

Spanish Rivalry in Colonial South-East America, 16501725

(p.6) and Rural Unwed Mothers: An American Experience,

18701950 (p.7) all recommended byCHOICE.

Id also like to draw attention to forthcoming titles Socialism

and Print Culture in America, 18971920 (p.3),A Political

Biography of Thomas Paine (p.3), andA Cultural History of

the Radical Sixties in the San Francisco Bay Area (p.3), one of

the launch titles for our new series Studies for the InternationalSociety for Cultural History.

We remain committed to our multi-volume primary source

collections too. Of key interest will be US Credit and Pay ments,

18001935 (p.14),American Exceptionalism (p. 11), and The

American Postal Network, 17921914 (p.13).

I would welcome any suggestions or proposals for book projects

as we are keen to grow our publishing in this eld. In particular,

if you have an idea for a new series that would further serve the

needs of academics working in any area of American Studies,

please get in touch.

Socialism and Pr int Culture

in Am erica, 18971920

Jason D Martinek

For socialists at the turn of the last

century, reading was a radical act. Thisinterdisciplinary study looks at howAmerican socialists used literacy in thestruggle against capitalism. The earlyPresidential campaigns of Eugene VDebs leader of the Socialist Party produced a concerted effort to developa socialist literature specicallyfor an American readership. Therefollowed a rapid growth in printedmaterial which helped the movementin its rise to prominence, however,Martinek contends that this over-reliance on the printed word was also

to be instrumental in its subsequentdownfall.

The Politics of Childhood in

Cold War Amer ica

Ann Marie Kor das

This study examines how childhood

a wide variety of institutions soughtto protect the United States not justthrough militarization and diplomacybut through the production of loyal,patriotic, disciplined citizens. Thesewere created through childrearingand educational methods designed toproduce desirable personality traitsand to prevent antisocial behaviour.

A Political Biograp hy of

Thomas Paine

W A Speck

Thomas Paine (17371809) was aradical, a revolutionary, an author and

a pamphleteer. Denounced in Britainfollowing the publication of the Rights

of Man (1791), Paines intellectuallegacy is such that he is still cited inthe political rhetoric of today.

Specks biography examines Paineswork afresh, in light of new thinkingabout the role of religion in theformation of his political ideology, andalso places Paine within the recently-developed context of Atlantic History.

Daniel OConnell and the

Anti-slavery Movement:T h e S a d d e s t P e o p l e t h e S u n S e e s

Christine Kinealy

This study offers invaluable insightinto a much-neglected area ofhistorical research on this nineteenth-century political gure. Previoushistories on OConnell have dealtpredominantly with his attempts tosecure a repeal of the 1800 Act ofUnion and on his success in achievingCatholic Emancipation in 1829,Kinealy focuses instead on OConnellscontribution to the anti-slaverymovement in the United States.

Kinealy rightly concludes that

[OConnell] deserves more recognition

and respect for his consistent and

powerful advocacy of human rights

throughout the world. Recommended.

Given the signicance the new world

So far,the body of work on the AmericanEnlightenment has focused almostexclusively on two areas politicsand religion. In contrast, scholarshave paid little attention to thepolyglot efforts of American doctors,scientists, engineers, botanists, poetsand other Enlightenment actors. TheEnlightenment in America lls thissignicant gap in the discourse.

General Editor: Laurie Garrison

In 1787, the entrepreneur RobertBarker patented a new form ofentertainment that would intriguethe public for a century to come. Thiswas the panorama, a massive circularpainting whose effect on the viewerwas deliberately enhanced through anoriginal apparatus for viewing it.

lectures collected here are the primaryhistorical sources left to us.

This facsimile edition will make thesesources widely available to scholarsfor research or study, and will includefull scholarly apparatus for their study,including introductions, headnotes,annotations, an appendix of mini-biographies of chief persons discussed,an appendix listing the panoramasexhibited at Leicester Square and theStrand as well as a bibliography andan index.
