The Age of Federalism: The Early American Republic, 1788–1800 is a 1993 nonfiction book written by historians Stanley Elkins and Eric McKitrick.
Publication[edit]
In 1962, Oxford History of the United States series co-editors Richard Hofstadter and C. Vann Woodward invited historians Stanley Elkins and Eric McKitrick (former students of Hofstadter) to co-write what was then the series' planned fifth volume. Elkins and McKitrick proposed that they instead write the series' volume covering 1789 to 1815 (at the time planned to be the third volume), which Woodward and McKitrick accepted.[1] In Hofstadter's own words, he was "delighted" that Elkins and McKitrick were writing for the series, and he expected them to produce "a slightly short book".[2] In 1975, Elkins and McKitrick reported that they wished to either withdraw from the series or cover their period in multiple volumes, a request that Oxford University Press editor Sheldon Meyer refused to grant while urging Elkins and McKitrick to not leave the series.[1] When Woodward inquired about an update in April 1979, Elkins and McKitrick replied in September that they planned to write a two-volume "Age of Washington and Jefferson" and afterward write a shortened version as a third volume to serve as their contribution to the Oxford series, expected to be finished in 1990; Woodward and Meyer let go Elkins and McKitrick as writers for the series.[3]
In 1993, Oxford University Press published Elkins and McKitrick's resulting manuscript outside the Oxford series.[4] Titled The Age of Federalism: The Early American Republic, 1788–1800, the book is 935 pages long,[5] and it weighs approximately 3.5 pounds (1.6 kg).[6]
