The Party Period and Public Policy: American Politics from the Age of Jackson to the Progressive Era [Book Review]

Abstract

Anyone teaching a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in American political history will want to assign this set of nine gracefully written essays, two published for the first time here. Richard L. McCormick's knowledgeable assessments of the state of the field, his perceptive summaries and gentle critiques of the writings of others, and his provocative original hypothesis about "Progressivism" suggest questions that are sure to be high on the research agenda for political history in the next decade or more.
