Books by Staughton Lynd

?Mr. Lynd discusses class conflict and slavery and their impact on the establishment of the Constitution. He contends that C. A. Beard's version of the nature of strife in this constitutional period requires revision. Rather than a conflict between capitalists and farmers, Mr. Lynd argues, the conflict was between commerical and noncommercial interests....An interesting and well-written book. Recommended for specialists and informed readers.?-Library Journal

Now an established classic, Intellectual Origins of American Radicalism was the first book to explore this alternative current of American political thought from the seventeenth-century English Revolution to the time of the American Revolution, when Thomas Paine was its great exemplar. This updated edition contains a preface by the author and a new historiographical essay by David Waldstreicher.
