Reviews
This is a singularly original contribution. I know of no such comprehensive review of the historiography of progressivism., Part of the book's refreshingly clear-eyed view of American history and historians owes to its author being outside the guild. Watson is a political scientist, an expert on political philosophy, American political thought, and constitutional jurisprudence. His eyes are sensitive to theoretical matters and to debates among statesmen, judges, and political thinkers that some historians, at least, have written off as antediluvian., "The book is more than an extended review of the literature, however; it is an indictment. And it is hard not to agree with Watson's assessment that these historians were guilty of obscuring as much as they illuminated about the Progressives." -- Law and Liberty, "The book is more than an extended review of the literature . . . ; it is an indictment. And it is hard not to agree with Watson's assessment that these historians were guilty of obscuring as much as they illuminated about the Progressives." -- Law and Liberty, Progressivism is novel because neither is it in thrall to Progressivism nor does it consider Progressivism as inevitable and inevitably domesticated. Rather, the author is capable of criticizing Progressivism at a fundamental level., "In this new offering from Watson, Progressivism is put under the microscope and examined during its 20th-century development. . . . The book proceeds chronologically through the 20th century to the current day, which gives readers a solid accounting of how Progressive ideas evolved and then merged with still later ideas." -- Choice, "Watson has crafted, not so much a historical genealogy of Progressivism, as its historiography. . . . Along the line of Watson's march appear some of the brightest stars in the firmament of American historical writing (and political-history writing) in the 20th century: Richard Hofstadter, . . . Henry Steele Commager, Daniel Boorstin, C. Vann Woodward, David Potter, Louis Hartz, Arthur Link, Gabriel Kolko, Henry F. May, and Robert Wiebe." -- Claremont Review of Books, Watson has crafted, not so much a historical genealogy of Progressivism, as its historiography. . . . Along the line of Watson's march appear some of the brightest stars in the firmament of American historical writing (and political-history writing) in the 20th century: Richard Hofstadter, . . . Henry Steele Commager, Daniel Boorstin, C. Vann Woodward, David Potter, Louis Hartz, Arthur Link, Gabriel Kolko, Henry F. May, and Robert Wiebe., "Bradley C. S. Watson's new book Progressivism: The Strange History of a Radical Idea points scholars in new and productive directions regarding the political thought of the Progressive Era. Watson writes with vigor and verve, making the book of great appeal to anyone trying to take the true measure of the legacy of Progressive political thought in American history." -- Public Discourse, "Bradley C.

Watson writes with vigor and verve, making the book of great appeal to anyone trying to take the true measure of the legacy of Progressive political thought in American history."-- Public Discourse, "This is a singularly original contribution. I know of no such comprehensive review of the historiography of progressivism." --Paul Moreno, William and Berniece Grewcock Professor of Constitutional History, Hillsdale College, " Progressivism is novel because neither is it in thrall to progressivism nor does it consider progressivism as inevitable and inevitably domesticated. Rather, the author is capable of criticizing progressivism at a fundamental level." --Johnathan O'Neill, author of Originalism in American Law and Politics, "This book leaves the reader with a deep suspicion of several generations of progressive historians who wrote without being fully honest or fully aware of the tensions between progressivism and the American founders. Beyond that, [it] requires us to think about the challenges of progressive thought to the legitimacy of American institutions and to the American regime as a whole. By provoking these questions, Watson leads us to the deepest level of American politics which is nothing other than a continuous dialogue and critical engagement with the American Founders." -- VoegelinView, "This is a singularly original contribution. I know of no such comprehensive review of the historiography of progressivism." --Paul Moreno, author of Black Americans and Organized Labor

Synopsis
Bradley C. S. Watson has devoted a significant part of his career to studying the nature of American progressivism as it formed in the twentieth century, and this book represents his synthesis of the history of this idea. In Progressivism: The Strange History of a Radical Idea , Watson presents an intellectual history of American progressivism as a philosophical-political phenomenon, focusing on how and with what consequences the academic discipline of history came to accept and propagate it. This book offers a meticulously detailed historiography and critique of the insularity and biases of academic culture. It shows how the first scholarly interpreters of progressivism were, in large measure, also its intellectual architects, and later interpreters were in deep sympathy with their premises and conclusions. Too many scholarly treatments of the progressive synthesis were products of it, or at least were insufficiently mindful of two central facts: the hostility of progressive theory to the Founders' Constitution and the tension between progressive theory and the realm of the private, including even conscience itself. The constitutional and religious dimensions of progressive thought--and in particular the relationship between the two--in effect remained hidden for much of the twentieth century. This pathbreaking volume reveals how and why this scholarly obfuscation occurred. The book will interest students and scholars of American political thought, the Progressive Era, and historiography, and it will be a useful reference work for anyone in history, law, and political science., At its core this book is intellectual history, tracing the work of progressive historians as they in turn wrote the history of progressivism.
