American Revolutions in the Digital Age

The interdisciplinary essays in American Revolutions in the Digital Age explore what digital tools can tell us about the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century United States and reveal how an understanding of the American past can make sense of our digital present.

By employing a host of innovative digital research methods, these authors challenge long-held assumptions about the American past. In addition, this collection uniquely demonstrates how contemporary anxieties about an array of topics, including media disinformation, patriarchy, economic inequality, and public memory, can be better understood through careful considerations of early American history.
