About This Item
New York, NY Cambridge University Press, 1984. Paperback First Ed Thus, Second Printing. Fine in Wraps: binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 328pp. First Ed Thus, Second Printing. University Press Paperback. This book contributes in a very important way to substantiating thus refining the transatlantic connection around the American Revolution. It does so by describing what I want to call the "epistemic" presence of Lockean thoughts on education throughout the process. Fliegelman's rehabilitative investigation impinges on discontinuities as much as on continuities between the Old World and the New World. As what buttresses the whole Enlightenment, the continued strain is Locke's sensationalist epistemology that encourages moral and political independence, but it transforms while differentiating across the Atlantic and through the period of the Revolution. Still, the entire antipatriarchal movement is, as Fliegelman traces it, an interaction between and combination of various factors among which literary texts are conspicuous and active players. Therefore, as the author makes it clear, "Much emphasis is placed on relating eighteenth-century literary history to social, theological, and political events in America."
