The Age of the Democratic Revolution: A Political History of Europe & America 1760-1800

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Palmer's most important work of historical scholarship is The Age of the Democratic Revolution: A Political History of Europe & America 1760-1800. Published in 2 volumes: The Challenge which won the Bancroft Prize in History & The Struggle . This masterwork traced the growth of two competing forces--ideas of democracy & equality, on one hand, & the growing power of aristocracies in society, on the other--& the extraordinary results of the collision between these forces, including both the American & French Revolutions. The book foreshadowed the development in the 1990s & early 2000s of ideas of Atlantic history & global history, & remains to this day a valuable resource for scholars.
