The essays in this volume explore how the American Revolution has been constructed, defined and understood by Europeans from the 1770s, illustrating what it has meant in different countries. |
| Synopsis: |
Europe's American Revolution explores how the American Revolution has been constructed, defined and understood by Europeans from the 1770s up until the present day. Historians in the United States have often assumed that the ideals of the American Revolution had an enduring significance outside of their own country, arguing that the contagion of liberty spread to France and beyond. According to this view, the American republic and the values upon which it was founded have served as the world's first and foremost emblem of liberty and democratic government. The essays in this volume challenge this by illustrating the importance of considering the American Revolution in a broader and more comparative international context. From Scotland to Spain, and from Hungary to France, the American Revolution has meant different things and been used, or at times ignored, for different reasons. The actions and the achievements of the American Patriots continue to resonate in early twenty-first-century Europe; this volume is the first in-depth comparative study of this process. |
