"A great example of history for non-specialists. Coming from a literature background, Reynolds is particularly attuned to the cultural/social side of history though he doesn't neglect politics or economics. You learn about everything from the political fights over a national bank to the country's momentary fascination with mesmerism. Well written and engaging."
"Fantastic. Interesting overview of the politics of the Jackson era. Surprisingly intriguing discussion of religion and utopian societies. The art stuff was not very interesting to me, but I guess it was necessary."
"I was somehow expecting this to be more a biography of Andrew Jackson - I guess I didn't pay attention to the title. It did provide some of that, but much more. Jackson was president of the US from 1829 to 1837, but the book covers much of the first half of the 19th century. The author examines the "age of Jackson" and the transitions encountered during that era from a variety of angles: political, intellectual, religious, cultural, social, philosophical, artistic, etc. I found each separate area the book considered quite enlightening, especially as they inter-related. The religion section was particularly interesting, describing "the second great awakening" that took place in the eastern US in the early 1800s, including the rise of Mormonism. His description of Mormon origins was fairly accurate, but it was especially intriguing to hear him describe the broader religious atmosphere in the country and the rise of other religions during that time."
