By 1797, when he published a book entitled A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution, he had come to appreciate what a momentous event both he and the world had experienced. America had created the very idea of revolution and had influenced the French Revolution. In fact, said Boucher, the French Revolution was the “acknowledged and most distinguished offspring” of the American Revolution. “In point of principle,” he could not see “a shade of difference between the American Revolution and the French rebellion.”1 Boucher, of course, exaggerated. The two revolutions were very different. But in at least one respect, the American Revolution did resemble the French Revolution. It saw an end to the private ownership of public power and a transformation in the meaning of property.2 In the old society of the North American colonies in the British Empire, people conceived of property in traditional, proprietary terms. When people talked about property in public—such as property qualifications for the suffrage or","PeriodicalId":44619,"journal":{"name":"NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY-A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF NEW ENGLAND LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"96 1","pages":"225-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45748568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this issue, we are pleased to introduce two special features and a first-of-its-kind book review that we believe carry forward the essential work of the Quarterly and enliven the conversation it represents with new perspectives. This issue contains the first of three sets of papers delivered on September 17, 2022, at the American Political Cultures Forum, a symposium co-sponsored by the Quarterly and the Massachusetts Historical Society. Distinguished historians Gordon Wood and Wim Klooster commence this three-part feature with papers on insurgent, emergent forms of equality in the Revolutionary period. They are introduced by the event’s organizer, historian Richard Brown, longstanding member of both our Editorial Board and Board of Directors. We are grateful for this opportunity to feature the work of such an eminent assemblage of scholars and eager to publish selections on the nineteenthand twentieth-century political cultures of New England in the next two issues. We thank our partners at the MHS and look forward to future collaborations. We also offer herein the first installment of a periodic feature we have titled “New England Now,” which will examine exhibitions, performances, and other public history projects that revisit and reinterpret aspects of New England history for contemporary audiences. Written by scholars working in museums, the creative arts, digital humanities, as well as in academia, these projects draw on the research in our fields but reach beyond the peer-reviewed essay to illuminate what matters about","PeriodicalId":44619,"journal":{"name":"NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY-A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF NEW ENGLAND LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"96 1","pages":"195-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44317209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A fire had begun shortly before midnight in the nearby downtown area, and the flames were a sight to behold. With pencil and brush, Champney recorded what he saw. (Fig. 1) In a fluid wash of monotone ink, Champney captured the smoke-filled air and billowing flames while frenzied pencil strokes articulated nearby rooftops and fellow spectators. From Champney’s vantage point, the conflagration threatened Old South Meeting House and the Boston Evening Transcript building on Washington Street. Firefighters managed to save Old South later that evening, but the Transcript Building became one of several hundred structures devoured by the Great Boston Fire. Champney’s ink wash drawing offers a view similar to what would have been seen from the rooftop of the Boston Athenæum at 10 1⁄2 Beacon Street, just three stories high at the time. The Athenæum’s building survived the fire by a mere two blocks, but the event still impacted the institution. Today, a century and a half later, the Athenæum holds one of the most significant collections related to the Great Boston Fire. Revisiting the Ruins: The Great Boston Fire of 1872, a special exhibition that ran from April 7 through July 29, 2023, in the Athenæum’s new Norma Jean Calderwood Gallery, looks critically at the ways artists, photographers, reporters, and","PeriodicalId":44619,"journal":{"name":"NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY-A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF NEW ENGLAND LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"96 1","pages":"244-263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45279035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Warren II and Louis D. Brandeis published a Harvard Law Review article advancing the idea that individuals have a “right to privacy.” Their essay became a touchstone for countless twentieth-century legal rulings, including Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), a named precedent in Roe v. Wade (1973). As Justine S. Murison explains in Faith in Exposure, the Warren–Brandeis essay maintained that privacy deserves legal protection as a set of feelings bound up with marriage, domesticity, and one’s authentic self, a formulation that crystallized the tremendous value that Americans had come to give privacy over the previous century. This understanding of privacy was thoroughly secular, as it associated a person’s true self not with religion or the soul but with a sacrosanct domesticity and a complex yet self-contained individuality. Giving expression to long-simmering American cultural beliefs, the essay effectively codified privacy as “sacredness in a secular key” (210). Faith in Exposure elaborates on the Warren–Brandeis article in its final chapter, but readers who turn to that discussion first will grasp more quickly the still-relevant legal stakes of this book’s cultural and literary history of privacy. The book’s core argument is that under American secularism, privacy came to function as a powerful locus of meaning associated not simply with discrete spaces such as the home or church but with “an affect and a performance of an authentic—and authentically moral—self” (24). Building on Saba Mahmood’s claim that","PeriodicalId":44619,"journal":{"name":"NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY-A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF NEW ENGLAND LIFE AND LETTERS","volume":"96 1","pages":"264-268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44904916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
