About the Book:In a stunningly original look at the American Declaration of Independence, David Armitage reveals the document in a new light: through the eyes of the rest of the world. Not only did the Declaration announce the entry of the United States onto the world stage, it became the model for other countries to follow. 5/5 Stars!Considers the Declaration of Independence as a Global Document. Rather than a call to arms for a domestic audience, it was a declaration of not just independence but interdependence, a statement of the colonies' place among the Atlantic Powers, and to some degree a plea for recognition and aid from France, Spain, and the Dutch. Most interesting is a collection of primary documents toward the end of this brief book, including Jeremy Bentham's condescending dismissal of the Declaration wherein he defies anyone to explain the difference between the laws of nature and the laws of nature's god. Armitage sees the US D of I as beginning a 'genre' of Declaration writing. Ultimately, the US document is pretty toothless compared to Haiti's (hatred of France is our principle, let any son of France who wants to die come to our shores, etc), and a lot gutsier than Czechoslovakia's desperation (we promise to be the best republic you ever seen mister). Short, interesting, oddly shaped, this little book has it all.--Ben About the author, David Armitage:David Armitage (born 1965) is a British historian who has written on international and intellectual history. He is chair of the history department and Lloyd C. Blankfein Professor of History at Harvard University. Armitage was born in Stockport, England and educated at Stockport Grammar School before attending St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he read English as an undergraduate. After receiving his BA, he embarked on a PhD in English, initially intending to write his doctoral dissertation on Shakespeare's classical sources and the English neoclassical poets. During the course of his research, he became interested in the relationship between republicanism and empire in the works of John Milton and was increasingly attracted to the discipline of intellectual history. Funded by a Harkness Fellowship, he took two years off from his PhD to retrain as a historian at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. He was awarded his doctorate in history from Cambridge in 1992 with his dissertation The British empire and the civic tradition, 1656–1742, a study of the relationship between English literature and Britain's imperial ventures in the Americas. After completing his PhD, Armitage remained at Cambridge until 1993 as a junior research fellow at Emmanuel College. He then joined the history faculty at Columbia University during which time he spent 2000 and 2001 at Harvard University on a fellowship. He joined the faculty of Harvard in 2004, later becoming the Lloyd C. Blankfein Professor of History and Chair of the Department of History. In 2008 Harvard named him a Walter Channing Cabot Fellow for "achievements and scholarly eminence in the fields of literature, history or art". He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Royal Historical Society and the Australian Academy of the Humanities. Armitage has written about Atlantic history, digital humanities and Big History. Armitage was married to Harvard history professor Joyce Chaplin.
