Brundage (emeritus, history, California State Polytechnic U.) and Cosgrove (emeritus, history, U. of Arizona) thematically explore how debates within the field of Anglo-American constitutional history were connected to broader social and political developments inside and outside academic institutions. They address a broad range of questions, including racism and Anglophone exceptionalism and their connections to British and American imperial expansion, political ideological influence on whether to stress the constitutional foundations of Anglo-Saxon village councils or Norman centralism, the professionalization of history and the ensuing emphasis on primary sources, changing Anglo-American political and economic relations and its impact on views about the American Revolution, and increases in non-elite higher education and the related marginalization of the "Great Tradition."
