Recenzii
'Colleen A. Sheehan places James Madison's 'Notes on Government' in the history of political thought and thus further reveals Madison as a political philosopher and not just a partisan tactician. In addition to this important discovery, she has included Madison's 'Notes' in a book that is now indispensable for seminars in American political thought and the early republic.' Jeremy D. Bailey, Ross M. Lence Distinguished Teaching Chair, University of Houston
'This pathbreaking study significantly advances our understanding and appreciation of Madison as political theorist. Combining meticulous scholarly sleuthing and uncommon literary grace, Colleen A. Sheehan has recovered a Madison we have never seen so clearly before. In her thoroughly engaging, rigorously contextual analysis of Madison's long-neglected 'Notes on Government' - her own annotated versions of which form the core of a lengthy documentary appendix - Sheehan has made Madison the thinker more exciting and relevant than ever.' Drew R. McCoy, Jacob and Frances Hiatt Professor of History, Clark University, Massachusetts
'James Madison sketched the outlines of his political thought in his 'Notes on Government' and Colleen A. Sheehan fills in the blanks in this authoritative new edition. Sheehan's brilliant account of what the Founding Scholar had in mind as he engaged with ancient and modern philosophers in his quest to vindicate America's republican experiment is a major contribution to scholarship.' Peter S. Onuf, Thomas Jefferson Foundation (Monticello), University of Virginia, and author of The Mind of Thomas Jefferson
'This is the most important book published on James Madison in my lifetime. It makes available to the general public for the first time in its original form a little book, known as 'Notes on Government', that Madison began drafting, as a sequel to 'The Federalist', while he was a Congressman in the early 1790s. Moreover, it makes this unfinished treatise available in a critical edition with detailed notes citing the passages from earlier works that Madison references; and, as a supplement, it provides an elaborate, readable introduction, tracing the evolution of Madison's thinking and analyzing this neglected work. Scholars will find this book indispensable. Students of the American founding and of American government more generally will be forced to rethink.' Paul A. Rahe, Hillsdale College, Michigan
'In this new study of the political essays written by James Madison in the early 1790s, Colleen A. Sheehan offers us an exciting exploration of the development of his thinking after the ratification of the Constitution. Scholars have often been perplexed by these essays. Sheehan is one of the first to set them in their proper context.' J. C. A. Stagg, University of Virginia
'Since Colleen A. Sheehan is one of the few reigning experts on the political thought of James Madison, anything she writes on Madison is important. But this book is more than important; it is extraordinary, both for the originality and depth of its research and for the clarity and incisiveness of its arguments. A tour de force of scholarship.' Gordon S. Wood, Brown University, Rhode Island
'This is the best book in a long time on the thought of James Madison … [The author] sheds new light on Madison's uniquely creative thinking during the vital years between 1786 and 1792, which he took the lead in crafting the Constitution and in explaining the political thinking undergirding it. … Sheehan provides an excellent summary of what Madison learned as he put together the political essays he wrote with Jefferson's help and encouragement in 1792, affording a brilliant and richly extended understanding of the mind of Madison as he lived the American statesman's most profound and productive years.' Ralph Ketcham, The Journal of American History
'Thinking about how public opinion formed in that shifting environment would be an important historical project, and one that might benefit from Sheehan's deep and nuanced analysis of Madison.' Tom Cutterham, History of Political Thought
