Modern Scholarly Editions of ClassicrnWorks for Today’s ReadersrnHISTORY OF THE RISE, PROGRESS, AND TERNINATIONrnOF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONrnIn TVo VolumesrnBy Mercy Otis WarrenrnEdited and annotated by Lester H. CohenrnMercy Otis Warren was arguably the most formidable, intellectually engaged womanrnin eighteenth-century America. Steeped in the classical, republican tradition, she wasrnan ardent proponent of the American Revolution. She also was suspicious of thernnewly emerging commercial republic of the 1780s and hostile to the Constitutionrnfrom an antifederalist perspective. These characteristics and convictions gave to herrnstunning history of the era a notoriety among histories of the founding era of thernUnited States.rnIn the words of Joyce Appleby of the University of California, “A modern edition ofrnWarren’s History is indeed a publishing event. Because Warren was deeply engaged inrnthe political and moral issues of her day, her writing represents a treasure trove, especially forrnthose interested in the political response of women to the republican and liberal Ideals animating public debate.”rnVolume I—^382 + xliv pages.
