Trade Review
"The authors masterfully construct a complex yet intriguing tale of an established nation's adaption to changing times."—M. J. C Taylor, Choice
"The Great Tradition not only demonstrates the centrality of constitutional narratives in helping to define national identities during a crucial period for both Britain and the United States, but also makes a vital contribution to the history of history writing, the historical profession, and Anglo-American cultural links. There is also much here about contextual influences affecting historians, from patriotism to racism. In discussing the subsequent decline of constitutional history's pride of place among historians following the First World War, Brundage and Cosgrove nonetheless demonstrate its extraordinarily long shelf-life." —Paul T. Phillips, St. Francis Xavier University
