"One of the most enjoyable works to read about those years essential to the formation of the Republic, despite the factional rivalries that were already well-established (and continue to characterize American society). Many authors are too technical or just plain dry when writing about the Constitutional era, but this is a lovely exception."
"Gordon Wood defined a new concept of understanding early American political history with this brilliant book. He literally wrote the book on republicanism, a concept fashioned out of the bits and pieces of previous ideologies as well as contemporary issues in post-revolutionary America."
"A brilliant reading of the transition from the Revolutionary era to the Constitutional period. It clocks in at over a million pages, which means very few people have read the whole thing, and fewer still have understood it. I certainly didn't understand it, but that won't stop me from critiquing Wood's interpretation: the American Revolution wasn't revolutionary because it transformed the Whig science of politics. It was revolutionary because it was phase one of a bourgeois revolution."
