Micah Alpaugh’s Friends of Freedom argues that in their struggle against the Stamp Act of 1765, the Sons of Liberty pioneered important communication and organizational techniques that ignited “social movements” across the “revolutionary Atlantic” (3). According to Alpaugh, the associations, correspondence committees, and coordinated actions the Sons “innovated” (74) had widespread transformative effects. In his account they were directly borrowed by British reformers and Irish nationalists, invigorated abolition movements first in America and then in Britain, and were adopted by French revolutionaries to form the Jacobin Clubs. From France, he continues, the Sons’ practices and ideas recrossed the Atlantic and provoked the Haitian Revolution before finally, in the hands of Citizen Genêt, returning back to the United States as the Democratic Republicans organized against the threat of an “effective Federalist dictatorship” (387). Two broad assertions drive Alpaugh’s analysis: first, that innovations in social technologies formed the sinews of eighteenth-century revolutions, and second, that these movements did not simply influence each other or arise simultaneously but were interconnected and “functioned as a totality” (7). The insistence on a direct connection between all these movements differentiates Alpaugh from other historians of the age of revolutions. Albert Goodwin’s The Friends of Liberty, for example, characterized the American Revolution as influencing British reform and the French Jacobins, but not as causally interconnected by people or practices.1 More recently, Nathan Perl-Rosenthal called in this journal for a cultural contextual approach that both “helps to elucidate the distinctiveness and significance of each [revolution] and the common threads among them” and describes “the period
Micah Alpaugh的《自由之友》认为，在他们反对1765年《印花税法》的斗争中，自由之子开创了重要的沟通和组织技术，点燃了“革命大西洋”的“社会运动”（3）。根据Alpaugh的说法，父子“创新”（74）的协会、通信委员会和协调行动产生了广泛的变革影响。在他的叙述中，它们被英国改革者和爱尔兰民族主义者直接借用，首先在美国，然后在英国激发了废除运动，并被法国革命者采用，成立了雅各宾俱乐部。他继续说道，在法国，儿子们的做法和思想重新穿越大西洋，挑起了海地革命，最终在公民根特手中，回到了美国，因为民主党共和党人组织起来对抗“有效的联邦党独裁统治”的威胁（387）。两个广泛的断言推动了Alpaugh的分析：第一，社会技术的创新形成了18世纪革命的力量，第二，这些运动不仅相互影响或同时出现，而且是相互关联的，“作为一个整体发挥作用”（7）。坚持所有这些运动之间的直接联系使阿尔博与其他革命时代的历史学家不同。例如，阿尔伯特·古德温（Albert Goodwin）的《自由之友》（The Friends of Liberty）将美国革命描述为影响英国改革和法国雅各宾派，但并没有因为人或实践而产生因果关系。1最近，Nathan Perl Rosenthal在这本杂志中呼吁采用一种文化语境方法，既“有助于阐明每一次[革命]的独特性和意义，也有助于阐述它们之间的共同线索”，并描述了“这一时期

Abstract:For a century after his death in 1667, the Haudenosaunee nations used a shorthand version of Arent van Curler’s name—“Corlaer”—to refer to the Dutch and English settlers of the New York borderlands and their colonial governments. They also designated Albany as the gathering place for all diplomatic meetings and called it “Corlaer’s house.” Historians have debated why Van Curler the person became a symbol after his death, with many emphasizing his diplomatic skill (or lack thereof). However, looking beyond Van Curler as an individual and placing him within specific contexts of familial relationships and diplomatic households reveals how the Haudenosaunee used “Corlaer’s house” as a means of renewing their relationships with the settler families on their borders. During an era of violence and political turmoil, each mention of “Corlaer” was a reminder of the framework of sovereignty and cooperation that the Dutch and Haudenosaunee had committed to build. The synecdoche helped ensure that those who met in “Corlaer’s house” would heed the memories contained within it, memories as fraught as Van Curler’s life had been.

Abstract:In 1784 a short novel set in North America, Mis Mac Rea, appeared in Paris. Its author was Michel-René Hilliard d’Auberteuil, a lawyer and former colonial administrator, and its subject was the death of Jane McCrea during the American Revolution. McCrea had become a popular figure of patriot propaganda following her death at the hands of British-allied Native warriors in 1777. Patriot versions of McCrea’s story had focused on demonizing Native Americans, but Mis Mac Rea presented a different racial reading, portraying Native people as honorable innocents led astray by the British military. Hilliard d’Auberteuil’s choice to write a sentimental novel about the American Revolution was a departure from his usual writing style; he remains best-known for his treatise Considérations sur l’état présent de la colonie française de Saint-Domingue, which attracted controversy due to his proposals for reforming the French Caribbean colony. Nevertheless, an examination of Hilliard d’Auberteuil’s treatment of McCrea’s story reveals a distinctly French interpretation, one that was consistent with his political writings, embedded in debates about the origins and definitions of race, and tied to anxieties about the proper management of French colonies in the Americas.
摘要：1784年，一部以北美为背景的短篇小说《Mis Mac Rea》出现在巴黎。该书的作者是米歇尔·勒内·希利亚德·德奥贝尔，一位律师和前殖民地行政长官，其主题是简·麦克雷亚在美国革命期间的死亡。1777年，麦克雷亚死于与英国结盟的原住民战士之手，成为爱国者宣传的热门人物。爱国者版的麦克雷亚的故事侧重于妖魔化美洲原住民，但米斯·麦克雷亚提出了一种不同的种族解读，将原住民描绘成被英国军队引入歧途的光荣无辜者。Hilliard d’Auberteuil选择写一部关于美国革命的伤感小说，这与他通常的写作风格不同；他仍然以其著作《圣多明各法国殖民地的公共政策》而闻名，该书因其改革法属加勒比殖民地的提议而引起争议。尽管如此，对Hilliard d’Auberteuil对麦克雷亚故事的处理方式的研究揭示了一种明显的法国解读，这种解读与他的政治著作一致，植根于关于种族起源和定义的辩论中，并与对法国在美洲殖民地的适当管理的焦虑有关。

Glenda Goodman’s Cultivated by Hand investigates personal collections of hand-copied music compiled during the decades after the American Revolution. Goodman undertakes a journey of exploration through collections of music manuscripts copied by the daughters and a few sons of the merchant and professional classes in New England and New York. Her goal is to show how scholars can adduce historical meanings by studying materiality, temporality, implicit knowledge about the gamut and harmony, tastes in consumption, gender politics, and suggested community found inscribed on the pages. The audacity of her scholarship lies in locating musical meaning not in the creativity of the composers’ works contained in the manuscripts, nor even in the expressiveness of amateur performances at home or in social settings. Rather, as Goodman shows, the handwork of the copied music itself was what mattered the most to the copyist to whom it belonged, for that work crafted a personal mirror in which to discover her (or his) sensibility, cosmopolitanism, and allegiance to galant style. Goodman explictly departs from many of the traditional concerns of musicology of the United States, such as glossing the cultural functions of genres, appreciating the character of masterworks, or measuring the transatlantic tides of influence. Of work in the field, her scholarship most resembles Susan L. Porter’s With an Air Debonair: Musical Theatre in America 1785–1815, which explores how theatrical music and performance style traversed the Atlantic and instilled a taste for elegance, lightness, wit, and urbanity in postrevolutionary American audiences.1 Porter’s work proves useful because Goodman found many song and dance tunes in her archives that were by the English theatrical composers Porter examines, such as William Shield. Yet Goodman is not greatly concerned with measuring to what degree galant music—the jaunty, danceable, sentimental music of the pleasure gardens and stage—enabled her subjects to perform gentility or stylishness in public spaces. What Goodman finds powerful is how the time and effort of copying a galant piece made a personal claim to the music. Handwritten music, in this view, becomes a deposit of sensibility, or even personhood.2
