Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xxiv, 376 p. Illustrations. A Note on Method. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Offering a reassessment of the tumultuous culture of politics on the national stage during America's early years, when Jefferson, Burr, and Hamilton were among the national leaders, Freeman shows how the rituals and rhetoric of honor provides ground rules for political combat. From a Yale University website: "Joanne B. Freeman, Professor of History, specializes in the politics and political culture of the revolutionary and early national periods of American History. Her most recent book, Affairs of Honor: National Politics in the New Republic (Yale University Press), won the Best Book award from the Society of Historians of the Early American Republic. Her current project, The Field of Blood: Congressional Violence in Antebellum America, explores violence in the Congress between 1830 and the Civil War, and what it suggests about the Congress, the nature of American sectionalism, the challenges of a young nation s developing democracy, and the longstanding roots of the Civil War."
