One of the finest historians of her generation, Jan Ellen Lewis
transformed our understanding of the early U.S. Republic. Her
groundbreaking essays defined the emerging fields of gender and
emotions history and reframed traditional understandings of the
founding fathers and the U.S. Constitution. As significant as her
work was within each of these subfields, her most remarkable
insights came from the connections she drew among them. Gender and
race, slavery and freedom, feelings and politics ran together in
the hearts, minds, and lives of the men and women she studied.
Lewis's brilliant research revealed these long-buried connections
and illuminated their importance for America's past and present.
Family, Slavery, and Love in the Early American Republic collects
thirteen of Lewis's most important essays. Distinguished scholars
shed light on the historical and historiographical contexts in
which Lewis and her peers researched, wrote, and argued. But the
real star of this volume is Lewis herself: confident,
unconventional, erudite, and deeply imaginative.
