Two time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Bernard Bailyn has
distilled a lifetime of study into this brilliant illumination of
the ideas and world of the Founding Fathers. In five succinct
essays he reveals the origins, depth, and global impact of their
extraordinary creativity.
The opening essay illuminates the central importance of America's
provincialism to the formation of a truly original political
system. In the chapters following, he explores the ambiguities and
achievements of Jefferson's career, Benjamin Franklin's changing
image and supple diplomacy, the circumstances and impact of the
"Federalist Papers," and the continuing influence of American
constitutional thought throughout the Atlantic world. To Begin the
World Anew enlivens our appreciation of how America came to be and
deepens our understanding of the men who created it.
