Recenzii
Founding Friendships is a nuanced and insightful examination of both the personal significance and the political salience of what the playwright, poet, and politico Mercy Otis Warren termed 'the soft whispers of private friendship'
Meticulously researched, clearly written, and fascinating ... It will inspire both more debate and more research on the hitherto-neglected topic of inter-gender friendships.
Of all the familial configurations of the founders, 'founding friends' is the most richly provocative. Employing an impressive array of primary sources, Cassandra Good uncovers a hitherto unexplored realm where women were at their most equal and their relationships with male friends represented the purest form of republican ideals. Founding Friendships is a dazzling debut and a major contribution to our knowledge of early national culture.
This beautifully written and insightful study builds on studies of same-sex friendship and marital friendship by turning our attention to cross-sex non-marital friendships during the revolutionary period. Cassandra Good shows that friendships between men and women were common, highly valued, and at the same time feared by citizens of the new republic. She provides a nuanced analysis of the delicate balancing act that friends of the opposite sex had to achieve between what their relationships had to offer and the potential dangers that they posed. This book will fascinate anyone interested in the history of friendship, the family, gender relations, the social and political history of the early republic, and the history of emotions.
Cassandra Good's Founding Friendships is a remarkable account of how friendships between men and women were critical to both the social and political fabric of the new nation. Good's work is an insightful analysis of the flow of power in these male/female relationships that could be threatening to the traditional understanding of a proper social order. Only in 'quiet conversations' could women convey their observations and political opinions. It is a story of the utmost importance to our understanding of the early nineteenth century.
A sensitively-drawn study packed with insights into how men and women understood and experienced their friendships with each other at a time of great social and political change. Founding Friendships is filled with very real people banging up against changing expectations as they navigated the period's highly politicized and thereby rocky social terrain.
Good's work is, overall, a well-written and interesting look at a little-discussed element of the social history of the early United States. Good provides a balanced perspective on these issues in a format that is readable and could easily be used in most college classrooms.
beautifully written and insightful ... Good's book further expands our understanding of the tight interweave between personal and public relationships during this formative period of US history, showing the ways in which non-marital friendships between men and women could enrich private lives and also the political realm.
