Review-Symposium

Daniel T. Rodgers: Atlantic Crossings, Social Politics in a Progressive Age, Harvard University Press, 1998.

---

H-State (Peter Dobkin Hall), H-Urban (Clay McShane) and H-Sci-Med-Tech (Harry M. Marks) have organized a review symposium of Daniel T. Rodgers' _Atlantic Crossings_. Rodgers' book offers a substantial reinterpretation of Euro-American social reform in the decades 1880-1940; it discusses topics of interest to a great many kinds of historians, including urban history, public health, labor and political history among others. We hope that after reading the discussion, subscribers will chime in with their own comments on the book and the issues raised by the discussants.

The symposium leads with a summary of the book by Harry M. Marks (The Johns Hopkins University), to be followed by comments from Prof. Victoria de Grazia (Columbia University), David Hammack (Case Western Reserve University), Seth Koven (Villanova University), Sonya Michel (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Pierre-Yves Saunier (CNRS, Lyon). Daniel T. Rodgers (Princeton University) concludes the discussion with his responses.

We hope that these remarks are the beginning, rather than the finish, to a discussion on the lists.
