George Bubb Dangerfield (28 October 1904 - 27 December 1986) was a journalist, historian, and the literary editor of Vanity Fair from 1933 to 1935. His book on early 19th century US history The Era of Good Feelings, won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for History. He is known primarily for his book The Strange Death of Liberal England (1935), a classic account of how the Liberal Party in Great Britain ruined itself in dealing with the House of Lords, woman suffrage, the Irish question, and labor unions, 1906-1914. After serving in the United States Army with the 102nd Infantry Division during World War II, he The Era of Good Feelings (1952), the period between the presidencies of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, covering from the start of the War of 1812 to the start of Jackson's administration . Derived from a Kirkus review: An historical and political perspective on the twelve year period which followed the peace treaty in 1814 to the War of 1812 and which was known as the Era of Good Feelings. For the conclusion of the War of 1812 and the peace which was an acknowledgment of the maturity of the new nation, left an aftermath of mixed issues and no real leadership, and the presidency of Monroe at best considered an interim period. Here are the impulses and incidents which figured in the decade that followed; the increase in the velocity of the westward movement; the nationalism of Andrew Jackson; the question of slavery expressed in the angry argument of the Missouri Debates; the relationship with England which was frozen by the Monroe Doctrine; the intrigues for the Presidency, and John Quincy Adams' succession. The Era of Good Feelings when a great man was found in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is a far reaching analysis of a phase of our historical past.
