warfare. The first book to focus on U.S. social history, this

In 1782, J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur wrote, "What then, is the
American, this new man? He is an American, who, leaving behind him
all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the
new mode of life he has embraced." In casting aside their European
mores, these pioneers, de Crevecoeur implied, were the very
embodiment of a new culture, society, economy, and political
system. But to what extent did manliness shape early America's
character and institutions? And what roles did race, ethnicity, and
class play in forming masculinity? Thomas A. Foster and his
contributors grapple with these questions in New Men, showcasing
how colonial and Revolutionary conditions gave rise to new
standards of British American manliness. Focusing on Indian,
African, and European masculinities in British America from
earliest Jamestown through the Revolutionary era, and addressing
such topics that range from slavery to philanthropy, and from
satire to warfare, the essays in this anthology collectively
demonstrate how the economic, political, social, cultural, and
religious conditions of early America shaped and were shaped by
ideals of masculinity. Contributors: Susan Abram, Tyler Boulware,
Kathleen Brown, Trevor Burnard, Toby L. Ditz, Carolyn Eastman,
Benjamin Irvin, Janet Moore Lindman, John Gilbert McCurdy, Mary
Beth Norton, Ann Marie Plane, Jessica Choppin Roney, and Natalie A.

Award-winning historian Mary Beth Norton reexamines the Salem witch trials in this startlingly original, meticulously researched, and utterly riveting study.
In 1692 the people of Massachusetts were living in fear, and not solely of satanic afflictions. Horrifyingly violent Indian attacks had all but emptied the northern frontier of settlers, and many traumatized refugees—including the main accusers of witches—had fled to communities like Salem. Meanwhile the colony’s leaders, defensive about their own failure to protect the frontier, pondered how God’s people could be suffering at the hands of savages. Struck by the similarities between what the refugees had witnessed and what the witchcraft “victims” described, many were quick to see a vast conspiracy of the Devil (in league with the French and the Indians) threatening New England on all sides. By providing this essential context to the famous events, and by casting her net well beyond the borders of Salem itself, Norton sheds new light on one of the most perplexing and fascinating periods in our history.

This book represents social history on a grand scale, imaginatively
conceived and massively researched. Norton brilliantly portrays a
dramatic transformation of women's private lives in the wake of the
Revolution.
In this pioneering study of the ways in which the first settlers defined the power, prerogatives, and responsibilities of the sexes, one of our most incisive historians opens a window onto the world of Colonial America. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary documents, Mary Beth Norton tells the story of the Pinion clan, whose two-generation record of theft, adultery, and infanticide may have made them our first dysfunctional family. She reopens the case of Mistress Ann Hibbens, whose church excommunicated her for arguing that God had told husbands to listen to their wives. And here is the enigma of Thomas, or Thomasine Hall, who lived comfortably as both a man and a woman in 17th century Virginia. Wonderfully erudite and vastly readable, Founding Mothers & Fathers reveals both the philosophical assumptions and intimate domestic arrangements of our colonial ancestors in all their rigor, strangeness, and unruly passion.
"An important, imaginative book. Norton destroys our nostalgic image of a 'golden age' of family life and re-creates a more complex past whose assumptions and anxieties are still with us."--Raleigh News and Observer

In Separated by Their Sex, Mary Beth Norton offers a bold
genealogy that shows how gender came to determine the right of
access to the Anglo-American public sphere by the middle of the
eighteenth century. Earlier, high-status men and women alike had
been recognized as appropriate political actors, as exemplified
during and after Bacon's Rebellion by the actions of and reactions
to Lady Frances Berkeley, wife of Virginia's governor. By contrast,
when the first ordinary English women to claim a political voice
directed group petitions to Parliament during the Civil War of the
1640s, men relentlessly criticized and parodied their efforts. Even
so, as late as 1690 Anglo-American women's political interests and
opinions were publicly acknowledged.
Norton traces the profound shift in attitudes toward women s
participation in public affairs to the age s cultural arbiters,
including John Dunton, editor of the Athenian Mercury, a popular
1690s periodical that promoted women s links to husband, family,
and household. Fittingly, Dunton was the first author known to
apply the word "private" to women and their domestic lives.
Subsequently, the immensely influential authors Richard Steele and
Joseph Addison (in the Tatler and the Spectator) advanced the
notion that women s participation in politics even in political
dialogues was absurd. They and many imitators on both sides of the
Atlantic argued that women should confine themselves to home and
family, a position that American women themselves had adopted by
the 1760s. Colonial women incorporated the novel ideas into their
self-conceptions; during such "private" activities as sitting
around a table drinking tea, they worked to define their own lives.
On the cusp of the American Revolution, Norton concludes, a newly
gendered public-private division was firmly in place."
