Rezensionen

"For this reason, A Companion to JamesMadison and James
Monroe should find a home in every academic library in theUnited
States." (Journal of American History, 5
November 2013)

"Leibiger's volume manages to be at once authoritative and
innovative. It brings together a remarkable roster of experts to
present a trove of original, often pathbreaking essays on our
fourth and fifth presidents. The juxtaposition of Madison and
Monroe neighbors, colleagues, sometime rivals is a canny
editorial choice, destabilizing old assumptions and providing
unexpected insights into the founding era."

- Robert P. Forbes, University of Connecticut

"These finely-crafted essays can be read either as
two complete biographies or as thirty-two beacons illuminating the
political thought and private and public lives of America's
fourth and fifth presidents."

- John Kaminski, University of Wisconsin

"This superbly edited collection of essays by noted
scholars provides state-of-the-art assessments that illuminate
their topics, make original arguments, and will become the starting
point for future work."

- Todd Estes, Oakland University
