A proposito di questo titolo

Charles Beard stands as one of the most influential American historians of the early 20th century, having authored a vast array of monographs, textbooks, and interpretive studies in history and political science. A proud graduate of DePauw University in 1898, he met and married Mary Ritter Beard, a pioneering figure in womens rights and a co-founder of Kappa Alpha Theta, the first Greek-letter society for women. Together, they published their landmark textbook, History of the United States, in 1921. A contemporary review praised the Beards for their innovative approach, noting that they treated historical events topically rather than chronologically, providing readers with insights into the interconnections between social, economic, and political forces. Their work aimed to foster a deeper understanding of American society and its place within the broader context of world civilization. With its exceptionally clear prose and thought-provoking content, this textbook remains a vital resource for both students and the average citizen.
