Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789-1815

Wood's superb book brings together much of what historians now know about the first quarter-century of the nation's history under the Constitution.

The emergence of democracy and individualism is his overarching theme.
 

Prophecy and Public Affairs in Later Medieval England

In the first general survey of political prophecy in medieval England for almost a hundred years, Lesley Coote examines the nature of political prophecy, its audience and its reception, from its emergence in the twelfth century to the end of the Middle Ages. Working from original manuscripts, she reveals prophecy to have been a major language for the discussion of public affairs, enshrining ideas of `Englishness' and a `national' community, and introducing a great crusading hero-ruler, a second Arthur, who would lead his people into the Last Days.
