impact on his and later times.a
--"The Historian"
"Talleyrand, who was acquainted with all of the statesmen of
Europe, once remarked that he had never encountered anyone 'equal
to Alexander Hamilton.' Hamilton may, in fact, have been the
greatest of the American Founding Fathers. He was certainly one of
the most important. Despite this, he has rarely been given his due.
This superb collection of essays goes a considerable distance
towards redressing the balance and towards restoring an American
statesman to the central place that he occupied in his own
time."
--Paul A. Rahe, author of "Republics Ancient and Modern: Classical
Republicanism and the American Revolution"
"Here are many fresh thoughts by many of the most innovative
scholars at work on Alexander Hamilton today. Every student of the
new republic and many general readers who are captivated by the
subject will want to read this volume."
--Lance Banning, author of "Conceived in Liberty: The Struggle to
Define the New Republic, 1789-1793"
"This supberb collection of essays goes a considerable distance
towards redressing the balance and towards restoring an American
statesman to the central place that he occupied in his own
time."
--Paul A. Rahe, author of "Republics Ancient and Modern: Classical
Republicanism and the American Revolution"
Revolutionary War officer, co-author of theFederalist Papers,
our first Treasury Secretary, Thomas Jefferson's nemesis, and
victim of a fatal duel with Aaron Burr: Alexander Hamilton has been
the focus of debate from his day to ours. On the one hand, Hamilton
was the quintessential Founding Father, playing a central role in
every key debate and event in the Revolutionary and Early Republic
eras. On the other hand, he has received far less popular and
scholarly attention than his brethren. Who was he really and what
is his legacy?
Scholars have long disagreed. Was Hamilton a closet monarchist
or a sincere republican? A victim of partisan politics or one of
its most active promoters? A lackey for British interests or a
foreign policy mastermind? The Many Faces of Alexander Hamilton
addresses these and other perennial questions. Leading Hamilton
scholars, both historians and political scientists alike, present
fresh evidence and new, sometimes competing, interpretations of the
man, his thought, and the legacy he has had on America and the
world.
