Book Synopsis A Factious People by : Patricia U. Bonomi
Download or read book A Factious People written by Patricia U. Bonomi and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1971 and long out of print, this classic account of Colonial-era New York chronicles how the state was buffeted by political and sectional rivalries and by conflict arising from a wide diversity of ethnic and religious identities. New York’s highly volatile and contentious political life, Patricia U. Bonomi shows, gave rise to several interest groups for whose support political leaders had to compete, resulting in new levels of democratic participation.
Book Synopsis A Turbulent, Seditious and Factious People by : Christopher Hill
Download or read book A Turbulent, Seditious and Factious People written by Christopher Hill and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preacher, soldier, rebel: Who was the author of Pilgrim’s Progress, one of the most influential books ever written? John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress is one of the most important works of English literature. Translated into more than 200 languages, it once rivalled the Bible in popularity in the English-speaking world. In A Turbulent, Seditious and Factious People, Christopher Hill reassesses the well-known author to recover Bunyan’s significance as a preacher—a man whose nonconformist religion led him into conflict with the Quakers and resulted in long years of imprisonment. It was while confined that he wrote his most famous works. This classic biography by one of the leading historians of the seventeenth century offers an extraordinary insight into one of Britain’s most influential writers.

It shows how New York’s perpetual struggles for power, wealth, and status exemplify the vigor, creativity, resilience, and influence of the nation’s premier urban center. The updated second edition includes nineteen images and brings the story right up through the mayoral election of 2009. In these pages are the stories of a broad cross-section of people and events that shaped the city, including mayors and moguls, women and workers, and policemen and poets. Joanne Reitano shows how New York has invigorated the American dream by confronting the fundamental economic, political, and social challenges that face every city. Energized by change, enriched by immigrants, and enlivened by provocative leaders, New York City’s restlessness has always been its greatest asset.

Book Synopsis The Federalist Papers by : Alexander Hamilton
Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

Book Synopsis A Turbulent, Seditious, and Factious People by : Christopher Hill
Download or read book A Turbulent, Seditious, and Factious People written by Christopher Hill and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly acclaimed biography explores how John Bunyan's writings and personality were influenced by the turbulent times in which he lived. The book examines the reasons why The Pilgrim's Progress holds a unique place in popular literature, and sheds new light on the meaning it held for its original readers. Christopher Hill believes that we should not view Bunyan's works as timeless literary artefacts, but take account of the social, political, and religious forces that acted upon their author. He explores the impact on Bunyan of his humble origins, the revolution of the 1640s and his experience in the Parlimentary army, his twelve-year imprisonment, and his difficulties in writing under censorship and persecution. The Pilgrim's Progress, which soon became the world's best-seller, is shown to derive from Bunyan's personal experience of defeat. - back cover.

Book Synopsis Opening Statements by : Albert M. Rosenblatt
Download or read book Opening Statements written by Albert M. Rosenblatt and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No society can function without laws, that set of established practices and expectations that guide the way people get along with one another and relate to ruling authorities. Although much has been written about the English roots of American law and jurisprudence, little attention has been paid until recently to the legacy left by the Dutch. In Opening Statements, a broad spectrum of eminent scholars examine the legal heritage that New Netherland bequeathed to New York in the seventeenth century. Even after the transfer of the colony to England placed New York under English Common Law rather than Dutch Roman Law, the Dutch system of jurisprudence continued to influence evolving American concepts of governance, liberty, women's rights, and religious freedom in ways that still resonate in today's legal culture. "Opening Statements addresses only a short chapter in the long history of America. Its judgments will not be without dispute, but then, as the eminent Dutch historian Pieter Geyl once wrote: 'History is an argument without end.' There can be no doubt, however, as to the value of those seeds of freedom that were deeply planted in New Netherland. They produced a revolutionary harvest that causes us to appreciate what the Dutch inspired. A small country, the Netherlands—yes—but always a powerful ally for America in the unending struggle for a well-ordered society where freedom and justice prevail." — from the Foreword by William J. vanden Heuvel
