	Bernard Bailyn - An Appreciation
		Bailyn was not a classroom lecturer in the grand style; he never gave the sort of polished performance that is full of bons mots and witticisms and manages to reach its scintillating conclusion seconds before the bell.
		Bailyn's Hutchinson is an able public servant, equally committed to the welfare of his colony and the empire, and a thoroughly decent man, the moral superior to his detractors, who treated him as a lackey of his imperial bosses and a traitor to his native Massachusetts.
		Bernard Bailyn has just turned seventy-five, and he remains as actively engaged in original research as he was when he was the young star of the Harvard history department in the 1950s.

		BAILYN: Liberty of the seas, yes, which was part of the reform in international relations that Franklin promoted and that was a sign of friendship between France and America in these critical years.
		BAILYN: Well, because it is a brilliant pamphlet and because it serves the cause that they were working for, some of them anyway, to think through the situation of dependence and independence, and whether they should move towards independence.
		BAILYN: Roger Sherman, who came from - another Connecticut man who came from practically nothing as a farmer, as a shoemaker, as a merchant, and who dabbled in law became one of the significant constitutional thinkers of the period and nobody could be more provincial than he in that wonderful portrait by Ralph Earl.

	The Past IS Unpredictable: A Conversation with Bernard Bailyn
		Historian Bernard Bailyn, who has been chosen as the 1998 Jefferson Lecturer in the Humanities, spoke recently with editor Mary Lou Beatty about American history -- how it is taught, how it is written, and how it fits into a larger transatlantic context -- and about history in general.
		Bailyn: The most fundamental issue that they had to deal with is how to construct a state system that has the power that's necessary in a civilized society and that at the same time does not impair individual freedom -- in fact protects it.
		Bailyn: My interest developed when I was in college, doing mainly English literature and some philosophy and discovering more and more that the kind of literary studies that interested me were really contextual, that is, what interested me most were the circumstances, the contexts, of literary works.

	Cromohs 1996 - Caricchio - Review of Bailyn
		Bailyn's answers cover a wide range of methodological and theoretical issues about history "craft", to put it in his words, beginning with some observations concerning teaching and educational problems and then extending gradually to relevant topics about historical research and its recent development, new methodologies and quantitative studies, aims, means and limits of historical writing.
		Therefore in Bailyn's opinion, historical teaching should focus on interpretative and framing issues, and present basic fields of history as "a coherent account of major passages of human experience", formulating questions and offering frameworks of general ideas.
		For Bailyn, in fact, historians are viewers, analysts and interpreters seeking for obtaining a clearer understanding of past lives and experiences than most of the contemporaries of the events narrated could have had.

	The Claremont Institute: A Revolutionary Historian
		Bailyn argued that the conditions and opportunities of the New World were as important as social position in influencing the choices Virginia's elite made in politics.
		Bailyn's early work in the history of ideas would have been sufficient to earn him a distinguished place in the profession, but his next major undertaking revealed him to be a biographer of extraordinary elegance and sensitivity.
		Bailyn writes, "History is what has happened, in act and thought; it is also what historians make of it." If he continues the project of "peopling," as I hope he does, he will have to continue to trace the sort of commercial, informal networks that arise from the activities of individuals throughout this Atlantic world.

	To Begin the World Anew
		Bailyn argues that his contradictory reception is indicative of the ambiguities in Jefferson himself and in the freedom he sought for his country.
		Bailyn explores the propriety of this increasing reliance of the opinions expressed in those often hastily composed eighteenth-century polemics.
		Bailyn’s themes are largely congratulatory, full of admiration for the Founders and their creation; he entices the reader toward further studies by suggesting their moral and philosophical excellence.

	FT June/July 2003: Books in Review: To Begin the World Anew: The Genius and Ambiguities of the American Founders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Bailyn noted the constitutional and the philosophic sides of the dispute, but he argued that both of these were subordinate to another strand: Whig opposition thought, which was neither so technical as the constitutional arguments, nor so high—falutin’ as the philosophical.
		Bailyn’s To Begin the World Anew: The Genius and Ambiguities of the American Founders is a collection of five essays, written on different occasions, but loosely held together thematically; in a manner of speaking, it constitutes a sequel to his Ideological Origins.
		Bailyn demonstrates that the framers of the Constitution came to realize that the revolution could be saved only if effective, i.e., powerful and somewhat centralized, authority were instituted—and they were so important because they figured out ways to combine effective governance with the revolutionary concern for liberty.

	To Begin The World Anew by Bernard Bailyn,185 pages, Knopf, 2003
		The theme of this slim book is that America’s founders were provincials, living on the edge of the European intellectual world, and that this accounts for the originality of their thought.
		Bailyn thus analogizes the founders to art historian Kenneth Clark’s description of provincialism in art: The artistic trends of cities set the artistic standards, “but in time metropolitan art, for all its successes—and in part because of them—becomes repetitive, overrefined, academic, self-absorbed….
		There are three causes of that myth’s survival: first, a misunderstanding of the American Revolution; second, a misunderstanding of the Constitution; third, an anachronistic tendency to see the twentieth century’s abuses of government as the inevitable result of the Federalists’ creation.

	History in Review - Faces of Revolution: Personalities and Themes in the Struggle for American Independence
		Bailyn attempted to show that the ideas and ideals of the revolution are as vital and pertinent today as they were in the 1700's.
		Bailyn has a knack for taking, what most would expect to be a boring subject, such as the sketch of Reverend Andrew Eliot, and turning it into an intriguing and enlightening story.
		Bailyn did this with all of his personality sketches - he brought the men to life, clothed their skeletons with reality, and forced you to empathize with them as they struggled to find their place in the turbulent revolutionary period.

	The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution : Enlarged Edition - Investor Bookstore
		Bailyn says "that extraordinary one-man propaganda machine in the cause of liberty, the indefatigable Thomas Hollis" distributed libertarian tracts in England and British America, and subsidized the publication of American revolutionary pamphlets, as well as reprinting the classics of the 17th century Whig tradition such as Sidney and Locke.
		Bailyn says "Such ideas, based on extreme solicitude for the individual and an equal hostility to government, were expressed in a spirit of foreboding and fear for the future".
		Bailyn says "denunciations of the work of seditious factions seeking private aims masked by professions of loyalty, which abound in the writings of officials and of die-hard Tories".

		But beyond his teaching and research, Bailyn is said to be influential in the Faculty at large--not by carrying a high profile in committees and on the Faculty floor notes one University Hall official as much as by being a substantial figure of counsel in the back rooms.
		Bailyn's prominent role in shaping the Core is what appears to dominate in the minds of those who mention him as a possible candidate for dean.
		Similarly Bailyn is described even by close friends as somewhat of a loner someone who just might not have the inclination to immerse himself totally in the administrative affairs of the Faculty.

		Bailyn uses Franklin to show how it played out in foreign policy; he also includes European portrayals of Franklin in art to show how he was received there.
		Bailyn also has a number of larger themes that are touched on, to a greater or lesser degree, in each of these essays.
		Bailyn was one of a new generation of historians who sought out ship registers, merchant's accounting ledgers, estate inventories, and other quantifiable data series, previously ignored, to tell their stories of how, in the late colonial and early national periods, ordinary Americans made decisions of lasting significance.

	"To Begin the World Anew" By Bernard Bailyn
		Bernard Bailyn's latest probing of the Founding Fathers is deep, creative, brilliant and provocative.
		Having read Bailyn's previous award-winning books, I had a hunch that his new work would be extraordinary, but it tops everything he has done -- and that includes his Pulitzer Prize winners of 1968 ("The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution") and 1987 ("Voyagers to the West").
		How, Bailyn asks, did a group of "provincials" -- as the colonists surely were -- conceive of a new society of brilliantly balanced liberty and a necessarily powerful state and encapsulate it in a workable Constitution and other writings?
