A revolution beyond independence

Gordon S. Wood frames the American Revolution as a transformation of society as well as a break with England. Bringing historical, political, cultural, and economic perspectives together, the book examines how an almost feudal social order became more democratic—and how that change could unsettle the era’s founding fathers. The emphasis is on the Revolution’s broader consequences and the gap between its emerging realities and the expectations of those who helped shape it.

Book overview

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - In a grand and immemsely readable synthesis of historical, political, cultural, and economic analysis, a prize-winning historian describes the events that made the American Revolution. Gordon S. Wood depicts a revolution that was about much more than a break from England, rather it transformed an almost feudal society into a democratic one, whose emerging realities sometimes baffled and disappointed its founding fathers.
