Professor Noble examines the basic philosophy and writing of six
American historians, George Bancroft, Frederick Jackson, Charles A.
Beard, Carl Becker, Vernon Louis Parrington, and Daniel J.
Boorstin, and finds in them a common tradition which he calls
anti-historical. He argues that this viewpoint is founded in the
frontier interpretation of American history, that American
historians have served as the chief political theorists and
theologians of this country since 1830, and that their writings can
be interpreted as Jeremiads designed to preserve a national
covenant with nature.
