Studies in American Thought and Culture
Paul S. Boyer, series editor

This series offers works by both established and emerging scholars in the humanities that illuminate and interpret America's intellectual and cultural history. Wide-ranging in scope, and with an advisory board of prominent scholars, the series presents books of intellectual quality that make a significant scholarly contribution while also speaking to the broader community of thoughtful readers. The University of Wisconsin Press is particularly proud to publish this series since Merle Curti, author of the seminal study, The Growth of American Thought (1943) and a founder of the field of American intellectual history, taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1942 until his retirement in 1968. This series continues the tradition of Wisconsin leadership in the field of American thought and culture.

Advisory Board: Charles H. Capper, Mary Kupiec Cayton, Lizabeth Cohen, Nan Enstad, James B. Gilbert, Karen Halttunen, Michael Kammen, James T. Kloppenberg, Colleen McDannell, Joan S. Rubin, P. Sterling Stuckey, and Robert B. Westbrook.
