Thomas K. Murphy explores the shifting history of European
attitudes toward America, utilizing British and French writing from
the late eighteenth through the middle of the nineteenth centuries.
Murphy studies a rich collage of literary, philosophical, and
political writing by Europeans during this era. The book covers
four stages in the development of European attitudes: traditional
theories and their modification in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, the influence of early American diplomacy on European
attitudes, the cultural iconography of the French Revolution and of
England during this same period, and the genre of the travel
journal. Murphy has created an interesting historiography that
augments our understanding of American history, but also
illuminates the role that these imaginative texts about the New
World played in the formation of significant social and political
developments in modern European history.
