by Armin Mattes
Part of the Jeffersonian America series
Hardback
Description
Citizens of a Common Intellectual Homeland explores the simultaneous emergence of modern concepts of democracy and the nation on both sides of the Atlantic during the age of revolutions.To illustrate the transatlantic emergence of these ideas, Armin Mattes considers the works of pairs of prominent intellectual contemporaries?one in America and the other in Europe?each writing on a common topic.
This novels approach of pairing prominent thinkers from both continents highlights the significant impact that the French Revolution had on the development of thought in the period, demonstrating that America was intimately tied to revolutionary events and processes in the larger Atlantic world.
