  The Reconstruction of American Liberalism

Author: Nancy Cohen
Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press

Tracing the transformation of liberal political ideology from the end of the Civil War to the early twentieth centry, Nancy Cohen offers a new interpretation of the origins and character of modern liberalism. She argues that the values and programs associated with modern liberalism were formulated not during the Progressive Era, as most accounts maintain, but earlier, in the very different social context of the Gilded Age.
