Everyday Life of Americans During the Time of George Washington
39.99 €
For the first time in Russian historiography, the monograph examines the everyday life of Americans in the era of George Washington, who became the national symbol of the United States, based on a wide range of original sources. The War of Independence profoundly changed America. The everyday life of Americans changed, flowing between stern republican virtue and frivolous gentility, between traditions brought from the metropolis and a new national consciousness.
The book tells how the "founding fathers" of the United States lived, how they traveled, courted girls, tried to cope with the shortage of goods and how the menu of an ordinary dinner or dance could tell about political preferences. The study begins with an examination of the state of the army, its everyday life. Family and spiritual affairs, the sphere of education, the state of law and order, various forms of leisure are also characterized. Particular attention is paid to the state of hygiene and medicine.
The reader is presented with an exceptionally interesting and diverse everyday life of Americans in the 18th century. The book is intended for general humanities students, for those studying US history, and for anyone interested in history.
