Synopses & Reviews
Woodrow Wilson's presidency marked a seminal period in American history. Wilson's progressive reforms laid the foundation for FDR's New Deal and ushered the nation into its modern era. In foreign policy, his philosophy and the programs he implemented have influenced the United States' relationship with the rest of the world throughout the 20th-century. An extremely controversial president in his time, Wilson has grown in stature in the intervening years, though some remain critical of the direction in which he steered the United States. Complementing the 69-volume ^IPapers of Woodrow Wilson^R, this book provides a comprehensive guide to the secondary literature on Wilson.
The complexity of Wilson's personality and the intricacies of his thought have become evident with the publication of each volume of his papers, compelling scholars to reassess the often polemical portrayals of his presidency. This bibliography provides access to the literature on one of the most fascinating individuals to occupy the White House.
Review
[A] comprehensive guide to the secondary literature about the president. The compilers and their associates worked for a decade to record and annotate forty-two hundred entries that thoroughly examine Wilson's scholarship, career in higher education, and politics. They achieved their goal of producing..."the most complete coverage of literature on Wilson published thus far".RUSQ
Review
This is one of the great bibliographies of American biography and historical literature. It will be a boon, not only to writers on Woodrow Wilson, but also to historians of one of the most important periods of American history. It is the best bibliography of its kind that I have ever seen.Arthur S. Link Professor of History, Emeritus Princeton University Editor, Papers of Woodrow Wilson
Review
There has never been, and probably never will be, a bibliographical guide to the life and times of Woodrow Wilson as comprehensive, expertly conceived, and interesting to read as this one--an enormously impressive achievement.Thomas J. Knock Associate Professor of History Southern Methodist University Author, To End All Wars: Woodrow Wilson and The Quest for a New World Order
Review
This bibliography...is an immense contribution to scholarship about Woodrow Wilson and his era. The inclusion of contemporary and historical works, each thoughtfully but briefly annotated, makes it the indispensible starting point for all future scholarship in the field. Everyone interested in the subject, from neophyte to the most careful scholar, will discover new treasures in its pages.Kendrick A. Clements Professor of History University of South Carolina
