Cogliano, University of Edinburgh
“In this sure-footed, luxuriant, and often surprising book, the

What a worthy, insightful testament to history’s enduring
importance.”—Benjamin L. Carp, Brooklyn College, CUNY
“By introducing and exploring the idea of a “history culture”
developing both before and after 1776, Hattem has produced one of
the most impressive discussions in a very long time of the coming
of the American Revolution and its impact on the formation of
national identity and American nationalism.”— Andrew Shankman,
author of Original Intents: Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison, and the
American Founding
“Michael Hattem's Past and Prologue brilliantly explores history's
roles in the American Revolution and in developing American
national identity. This learned, vigorous book signals the debut of
a major scholar.”—R. B. Bernstein, author of The Education of John
Adams
