American Revolutions: Ordinary Lives & Extraordinary Times
Reading List
Dr. Sarah Pearsall
These topics roughly correspond to those on the weekly discussion list, but there are
some additions. These additional items might be used in your essays or in general
revision. The astericks signify that those readings are essential for the class presentations.
The double astericks refer to the reading that everyone should do even if they do
nothing else that week. Otherwise, we will just have to sit there, silent and glum.
Back issues of key journals (William and Mary Quarterly, American Historical Review,
and Journal of American History, among others) can be found online on networked
computers, at http://www.jstor.ac.uk. Newer issues of WMQ and other journals can be
found online at http://www.historycoop.org. Another useful online resource is the early
American journal, Common-Place, at http://www.common-place.org
