Matthew H. Crocker is visiting assistant professor of history at Keene State College.
"Offers a novel and meticulously documented analysis of the compelling world of Boston politics in the years after the Hartford Convention. Crocker demonstrates that even in Boston, the Federalist grip on power proved much more tenuous as traditional deferential politics gave way. In Crocker's hands, the story of the Federalists' vigorous defense of their political standing in the face of numerous popular challenges provides a window onto the crucial relationship of class and politics in the early republic."--Peter S. Field, author of The Crisis of the Standing Order: Clerical Intellectuals and Cultural Authority in Massachusetts, 1780-1833 "A well-written and well-researched book. In the rough and tumble of the Boston school of politics, Josiah Quincy was a master. Not until the days of James Michael Curley would this city see another like him--tart tongued, fiercely independent, and loved by the people."--William M. Fowler Jr., director, Massachusetts Historical Society
