From 1776, when Citizen Tom Paine declared: 'The birthday of a new world is at hand,' America was unique in world history. A nation steeped in the spirit of explorers, continually strengthened by immigrants and nourished by a continuous influx of foreign ideas. It was the first true cosmopolitan civilization in the world.
In Beyond the Revolution Pulitzer Prize winner William H. Goetzmann describes the story of America's greatest thinkers and makers, from Paine and Jefferson to Melville and William James. He shows how they inspired and contested each other's ideas during the crucial years between 1776 and 1900. This authoritative work of intellectual history is indispensable for anyone interested in the origins of American culture.
