ABSTRACT On 2 December 1803, President Thomas Jefferson threw a dinner party at the White House. In violation of diplomatic etiquette, when dinner was called Jefferson offered his hand to Dolley Madison, the wife of the Secretary of State, rather than to Elizabeth Merry, the wife of the newly appointed British minister. The incident sparked a social war. In response to the ensuing controversy, Jefferson hurriedly wrote out his Canons of Etiquette, describing a radical, new form of American etiquette that marked an important step forward in the United States’ quest for sovereignty and equality with the nations of Europe.

ABSTRACT This article examines significant diplomatic moments during the Grant administration – the Cuban neutrality proclamation and the Treaty of Washington – and the methods employed by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish to manage diplomacy and to keep the United States out of war with Europe. It argues that Fish was a pragmatic adviser to the President, not a manipulator pushing Grant towards his own ends, or a savior pulling Grant back from disaster. Rather, Fish counseled Grant to make sound diplomatic decisions that insured peace, leading to greater autonomy in decision-making and a successful relationship between president and secretary of state.

claimed to do so “in accordance with the spirit that actuated the venerated fathers of the Republic” (p. 200). The abolitionist spirit of the Constitution, Gilhooley argues, emerged as a specific response to this proslavery logic and used the tools laid out by Black writers in the 1820s. The payoff of Gilhooley’s thesis becomes evident when he arrives at Roger Taney’s Dred Scott decision. Taney’s decision to anchor his ruling in tenuous assertions of what the founders must have meant, without a significant degree of textual support, has long puzzled historians. Now, it appears clearly as the culmination, or at least the most extreme version, of a twodecade-old proslavery intellectual project. There is, Gilhooley asserts, an additional legacy of these struggles that outlived the politics of slavery. We are stuck with the founders and their spirit, and therefore locked into a mode of constitutional politics that is “tilted toward conservatism” (p. 248). This reviewer was left wondering if Gilhooley’s work might also hold a different lesson. Does the antebellum struggle over slavery not show us that a politics driven by the spirit of the founding might powerfully support a range of political ends, progressive as well as conservative? Either way, skeptics and proponents of constitutional politics alike could not ask for a better starting point than this book.

her fiction. An actual cousin to the progenitor of plantation fiction, Thomas Nelson Page, Rives coveted his approval and eventually found her writing mentioned in the same company as his. Memorable is Rives’s use of an image made in 1889 to telegraph her privilege. In the photograph, Rives reclines on a well-appointed sofa while over her stands a Black woman in a domestic uniform, her eyes downcast to Rives’s figure, her posture inclined as though ready to spring at the wishes of the recumbent figure. Censer’s caption labels the image as one expressly taken to show “how Amélie Rives portrayed herself as a Virginia aristocrat” (p. 171). Whether Rives and her publicist consciously engineered such a linkage or periodicals manufactured these opportunities, “the effect was the same: Rives was pictured as a benevolent southerner of the old school” (p. 170). Rives thus illustrates the troublesome “benevolence” of progressive white womanhood, eager to explode the boundaries of circumscribed femininity, unwilling to disentangle those same freedoms from the net of whiteness. Censer finds Rives’s better formulated work later in her career when she relies less heavily on tired formulas of regional exceptionalism. InWorld’s-End (1914), she explores the toll of premarital pregnancy, for instance, and Shadows of Flames (1915) takes up opiate addiction. Here and earlier Censer maintains that Rives focused “on the passion, insouciance, and capabilities of her female protagonists” (p. 260). Rives emerged as something of a mentor to younger southern writers and enjoyed a friendship with fellow Virginian Ellen Glasgow, who famously exposed the treacheries of what she called “evasive idealism” in novels including The Sheltered Life (1932). Censer’s study may not so much engender a new generation of Rives devotees as it may instead redirect readers to how southern literature evolved in concert with a national literary marketplace. For her own part, Rives was chronically dissatisfied with her literary efforts, admitting in 1932 to a biographer she forcefully discouraged “I haven’t any illusions about myself as to my writing” (p. 251). If Rives had reservations about her own skill, readers will have none about Censer’s. The Princess of Albemarle is the fullest portrait of Rives’s life and work to date; it opens a window onto a period of American letters in which writing from the South seems simultaneously out of step with national rhythms and revelatory of their deepest impulses.
