Made up of an introduction and thirteen previously published essays, Liberalism and Republicanism in the Historical Imagination constitutes both an intellectual biography of the author, Joyce Appleby, and a coming to terms with the “republican” point of view—first identified by Robert E. Shalhope in “Toward a Republican Synthesis: The Emergence of an Understanding of Republicanism in American Histo- riography,” William and Mary Quarterly 29 (1972)—that has dominated interpretations of the American Revolution since the late 1960’s.
