Lance Banning was one of the most distinguished historians of
his generation. His first book, The Jeffersonian Persuasion:
Evolution of a Party Ideology, was a groundbreaking study of the
ideas and principles that influenced political conflict in the
early American Republic. His revisionist masterpiece, The Sacred
Fire of Liberty: James Madison and the Founding of the Federal
Republic, received the Merle Curti Award in Intellectual History
from the Organization of American Historians and was a finalist for
the Pulitzer Prize.
Banning was assembling this collection of his best and most
representative writings on the Founding era when his untimely death
stalled the project just short of its completion. Now, thanks to
the efforts of editor Todd Estes, this illuminating resource is
finally available. Founding Visions showcases the work of a
historian who shaped the intellectual debates of his time.
Featuring a foreword by Gordon S. Wood, the volume presents
Banning's most seminal and insightful essays to a new generation of
students, scholars, and general readers.
