ISBN: 9780691621210 出版年：2015 页码：338 Skotheim, Robert Allen Princeton University Press

This study of american intellectual histories sketches their development from colonial chronicles to today's professional scholarship. It concentrates upon the writings of a dozen or more major historians between the late 1800's and the middle 1900's who have contributed to the study of the history of ideas in america, including moses coit tyler, edward eggleston, charles beard, carl becker, vernon farrington, merle curti, perry miller, and ralph gabriel. The various histories are analyzed partly from the perspective of a developing scholarly discipline and partly from the perspective of the "climate of opinion" in which the histories were written.
