Main currents in American thought

Volume 1 / Book 3 — Book III: Part II

Reading edition

I. The Impact of the French Revolution: Abundant material will be found in Charles D. Hazen, Contemporary American Opinion of the French Revolution (Baltimore, 1897, Johns Hopkins Studies in Hist. and Pol. Science, Extra Vol. 16). See also The Journal of William Maclay, edited by E. S. Maclay (New York, 1890). For Publicola, see John Q. Adams, Writings ..., edited by Worthington C. Ford (7 vols., New York, 1913–17).

II. Tom Paine: Writings ..., edited by Moncure D. Conway (4 vols., New York, 1894–99). Moncure D. Conway, Life of Thomas Paine ... To which is added a Sketch of Paine by William Cobbett ... (2 vols., New York and London, 1892).

Thomas Jefferson: Writings, edited by H. A. Washington (9 vols., Washington, 1853–54). The Works of Thomas Jefferson (with Anas and Autobiography), edited by P. L. Ford (12 vols., New York, 1904–05).

Numerous lives, many of which are wholly unreliable. The official biography was written by Henry S. Randall, The Life of Thomas Jefferson (3 vols., Philadelphia, 1858, 1871). Of later studies the following are excellent: David S. Muzzey, Thomas Jefferson (New York, 1919); Francis W. Hirst, Life and Letters of Thomas Jefferson (New York, 1926)—an English view; and Albert Jay Nock, Jefferson (New York, 1926). See also Sarah N. Randolph, The Domestic Life of Thomas Jefferson (New York, 1871) and Thomas E. Watson, The Life and Times of Thomas Jefferson (New York, 1903).

III. The Federalist Group: For backgrounds of the Hartford wits, see Richard J. Purcell, Connecticut in Transition: 1775–1818 (Washington, 1918). William A. Robinson, Jeffersonian Democracy in New England (New Haven, 1916). Samuel E. Morison, Life and Letters of Harrison Gray Otis (2 vols., Boston, 1913). For criticism, see F. Sheldon, “Pleiades of Connecticut” (Atlantic Monthly, Vol. XV). Mrs. Annie R. Marble, Heralds of American Literature (Chicago, 1907). Moses Coit Tyler, Three Men of Letters (New York, 1895)—Dwight and Barlow. The writings of the Wits have long been out of print. The most available text is The Connecticut Wits, edited with introduction and bibliographies, by Vernon L. Parrington (New York, 1926, American Authors Series), which reprints large portions of Trumbull, Timothy Dwight, Barlow, Humphreys, The Anarchiad, and portions of The Echo.

Timothy Dwight: The most important titles are The Conquest of Canaan ... (Hartford, 1785). The Triumph of Infidelity ... (1788). Greenfield Hill ... (1794). Travels in New England and New York: 1796–1815 (4 vols., New Haven, 1821–22; London, 1823).

See W. B. Sprague, Life of Timothy Dwight (Sparks Lib. Amer. Biog., Second Series, Vol. IV, Boston, 1845).

The French Group: Philip Freneau: Poems, edited for the Princeton Hist. Assoc. by Fred L. Pattee (3 vols., Princeton, 1902–07). Victor H. Paltsits, A Bibliography of the Separate and Collected Works of Philip Freneau, together with an Account of his Newspapers (New York, 1903). Mary S. Austin, Philip Freneau, Poet of the Revolution (New York, 1901). S. E. Forman, The Political Activities of Philip Freneau (Baltimore, 1902, Johns Hopkins Studies in Hist. and Pol. Science, Series XX, No. 9–10). Mrs. Annie R. Marble, Heralds of American Literature (Chicago, 1907).

Joel Barlow: His works are out of print, but portions will be found in The Connecticut Wits (New York, 1926). The important titles are: The Vision of Columbus ... (Hartford, 1787; London, 1787). A Letter to the National Convention of France ... (London, 1792). Advice to the Privileged Orders in the Several States of Europe ... (London, 1792, 1796). The Conspiracy of Kings ... (London, 1792). The Hasty Pudding ... (New York, 1796; Salem, 1799; Stockbridge, 1799). The Columbiad (Philadelphia, 1807; London, 1809).

Charles Burr Todd, Life and Letters of Joel Barlow (New York, 1886). See also Tyler, Three Men of Letters (New York, 1895), and Marble, Heralds of American Literature (Chicago, 1907).

Hugh Henry Brackenridge: Modern Chivalry: Containing the Adventures of Captain John Farrago, and Teague O’Regan, his servant ... (2 vols., Philadelphia, 1792; Vol. 3, Pittsburgh, 1793; Vol. 4, Philadelphia, 1797). These four volumes constitute Part I. Part II was issued in two volumes, Philadelphia, 1804–05. Many revisions and changes of the text followed. The complete work was issued in four volumes (Philadelphia, 1815), the fourth volume containing new material. Another complete edition was issued in two volumes (Pittsburgh, 1819). For detailed information see Cambridge History of American Literature (Vol. I, p. 526).

An account of Brackenridge and in particular of his experience during the Whiskey Rebellion, in a memoir by H. M. Brackenridge, prefaces the edition of 1846 and later editions. No life of Brackenridge has been written. His fugitive writings in verse, drama, and prose are numerous but inaccessible. Some comment on Brackenridge is given in Henry Adams, Life of Albert Gallatin (Philadelphia, 1879).
