When Parrington's Pulitzer Prize-winning history of American ideas
was first published, Henry Seidel Canby wrote, "This is a work of
the first importance, lucid, comprehensive, accurate as sound
scholarship should be, and also challenging, original in its
thinking, shrewd, and sometimes brilliant." Alfred Kazin has called
Main Currents in American Thought "the most ambitious single effort
of the Progressive mind to understand itself." In the Foreword to
this new edition, David W. Levy argues that Parrington's
intellectual survey "will stand as a model for venturesome scholars
for years to come. Readers and scholars of the rising generation
may not follow Parrington's particular judgments or point of view,
but it is hard to believe that they will not still be captivated
and inspired by his sparkle, his breadth, his daring, and the ardor
of his political commitment." Volume I, The Colonial Mind,
1620-1800, treats such influential figures as John Winthrop, Roger
Williams, Samuel Sewall, Increase and Cotton Mather, Jonathan
Edwards, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Tom
Paine, and Thomas Jefferson.
