This study of American intellectual histories sketches their
development from colonial chronicles to today's professional
scholarship. It concentrates upon the writings of a dozen or more
major historians between the late 1800's and the middle 1900's who
have contributed to the study of the history of ideas in America,
including Moses Coit Tyler, Edward Eggleston, Charles Beard, Carl
Becker, Vernon Farrington, Merle Curti, Perry Miller, and Ralph
Gabriel. The various histories are analyzed partly from the
perspective of a developing scholarly discipline and partly from
the perspective of the "climate of opinion" in which the histories
were written. The methods employed by the historians in studying
ideas, as well as the substantive interpretations expressed in the
histories, are analyzed in relation to the "world-views" or
"ideological positions" of the historians themselves. Originally
published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
