Review
“For Hamilton fans, history buffs, political thinkers and Broadway acolytes, this collection provides dozens of fascinating perspectives, correctives, and sidelong directives. It probably won’t change your mind about the show, but it will keep you thinking and talking about it, and the world that surrounds it, for a long time to come. If you love Hamilton the musical or have any curiosity about the man himself and where he fits into the American panorama, this is the book for you." (Jack Viertel producer, critic, renowned author, and senior vice president of Jujamcyn Theaters)"Hamilton, the musical, has turned thousands of people onto the history of the American founding. For those who want more, Historians on Hamilton digs deep into the myths and realities behind the show." (Jacob Weisberg editor-in-chief of the Slate Group and author of The Bush Tragedy)"Historians on Hamilton is an erudite and accessible scholarly consideration of the Broadway phenomenon that created an Alexander Hamilton palatable for our times. An indispensable work for all interested in the founding and contemporary racial politics." (Annette Gordon-Reed author of The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family)"Deeply documented, culturally astute, interpretively diverse, consistently illuminating—this is a model of intellectual engagement. Providing insight into Hamilton’s significance, the essays cogently reveal how contemporary culture shapes our past.” (Joshua Brown American Social History Project, City University of New York Graduate Center)"Treating Hamilton as a historical phenomenon in its own right, contributors to this volume reflect on the lives that inspired it and its meaning for our conflict-ridden present." (Kathleen M. Brown David Boies Professor of History, The University of Pennsylvania)"Think of this volume as a how-to manual for scholars to use the brilliance of Hamilton to teach about the incredibly complex power dynamics of early America." (Gautham Rao assistant professor of history at American University and author of National Duties)"Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton is enthralling as musical theater. As history…not so much. Fortunately, two great professional historians, Renee C. Romano and Claire Bond Potter, are here to set the record straight, gathering expert essays to tell you the inconvenient truths about Alexander Hamilton that the hit play leaves out. More than that, though, Historians on Hamilton offers informed and insightful meditations on the themes of history, memory, legacy, interpretation and art that lie at the heart of the Broadway smash. No Hamilton fan should do without it." (David Greenberg professor of history at Rutgers University, author of Republic of Spin)"A thought-provoking and carefully crafted collection of scholarship that has much to offer readers interested in music, theater, or American history." (Library Journal starred review)"The Issue on the Table: Is 'Hamilton' Good For History?" by Kate Keller (Smithsonian Magazine Online)"Cumulatively, the essays in Historians on Hamilton provide a useful and impressive range of perspectives from which to appreciate the historical significance of the Broadway sensation, to evaluate the historical accuracy of the story Hamilton tells, and to prod us to consider the contemporary stakes of the historical narratives we consume, celebrate, and propagate."

An outstanding collection discussing thoughtfully and critically both the historical questions about Hamilton himself and the show, contemporary implications of how Hamilton the Musical presents the past, and contemporary context in which this show emerged and flourished. The essays are well written and highly recommended for anyone who has seen, plans to see, or has heard about Hamilton, The Musical, and for those who are interested in the Founding Fathers genre of history.
I am loving this book and am delighted to have found it before seeing the show for the first time, in DC, in a few weeks. I'm about a third of the way through and have found the essays fascinating. The first two essays alone gave me a very helpful overview of the highlights of Hamilton's life and legacy that will be touched on in the play. After reading just those two, the next time I listened to the sound track (which I'm able to stream free on Amazon as a prime member), I had context for the lyrics, which very much enriched the listening. I have also been both intrigued and enlightened by other essays on the topics of slavery, gender roles and rights, and the economics of Hamilton's era, and ways in which the play was faithful to or departed from history as is understood by these specialist historians. Now and then there's a bit of overlap in the essays, which is to be expected when different academics cover similar turf. I don't mind it at all, because it helps reinforce the concepts, all of which spark my curiosity. I knew I wouldn't have the time or attention span (sadly) to read the Chernow Hamilton tome on which the play is based. This collection does the job of priming me for the show, and then some, because it's not just one person's take but that of many experts taking many angles. Brilliant concept, well executed. Highly recommended. (PS - I purchased the Kindle format for myself and the paperback as a gift - both of which are great - not the hardback as this review somehow indicated by mistake.)
America has gone Hamilton crazy. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winningCover of Historians on Hamilton Anthology musical has spawned sold-out performances, a triple platinum cast album, and a score so catchy that it is being used to teach U.S. history in classrooms across the country. But just how historically accurate is Hamilton? And how is the show itself making history? Historians on Hamilton brings together a collection of top scholars to explain the Hamilton phenomenon and explore what it might mean for our understanding of America’s history.The contributors examine what the musical got right, what it got wrong, and why it matters. Does Hamilton’s hip-hop take on the Founding Fathers misrepresent our nation’s past, or does it offer a bold positive vision for our nation’s future? Can a musical so unabashedly contemporary and deliberately anachronistic still communicate historical truths about American culture and politics? And is Hamilton as revolutionary as its creators and many commentators claim?(via Goodreads)I received an eARC of Historians on Hamilton from Edelweiss, courtesy of Rutgers University Press, in exchange for an honest review.I love history, and I love Hamilton, so when I saw Historians on Hamilton up for request on Edelweiss, I knew I had to at least try to get it. You should check out my list of other books to read if you love Hamilton, or my review of Chernow’s biography.As with all anthologies, Historians on Hamilton had several essays that I enjoyed, several essays that blew my mind and kept my wheels turning, and several that didn’t really work for me. Hamilton is, of course, not perfect, and that’s fine. I was interested to see what I could learn from these historians.For me, the first half of Historians on Hamilton was narratively stronger than the latter. This was where I found all of the essays that blew my mind. I honestly felt that the last three essays drug on a little bit, and were not as well done.One essay that didn’t resonate with me in Historians on Hamilton was “Reckoning with America’s Racial Past, Present and Future in Hamilton.†Even this essay had a lot of great points, and a lot for me to keep thinking on. One thing that author Patricia Herrera misses during her critical essay about the cultural erasure that comes with Hamilton is how smart today’s youth are. Today’s middle and high schoolers are working their asses off to change the world they see into a better one. They’re also usually a better judge of things that are harmful than the generation ahead of them.That being said, they will need some guidance. When your 10-year-old wants to dress up as Angelica Schuyler, and that isn’t okay, talk to her about it. Talk to her about the differences between the character and the historical figure. Together, you can find other historical figures that had she admires in the character. She’ll learn and also tell all her friends about what her cool mom taught her.RATING:Overall, I enjoyed Historians on Hamilton. I think it’s a strong historical anthology that takes the present day into effect. I think it will be a hit with a lot of people.
Alexander Hamilton Answers the Historiansby Nancy SpannausAug. 2, 2018—While I did not have very high hopes for this book of essays critiquing the Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical Hamilton, I did not expect to find such a concerted set of attacks on not only Alexander Hamilton himself, but also historian Ron Chernow and the whole school of historians who positively assess the role of the “dead white European males†who led the world-historical battle to establish the American Republic. It was an eye-opener, to say the least, and rather disheartening when one considers that many of these historians are shaping the minds of the nation’s youth in our universities.
A great resource for teaching American history at any level, and a great read for anyone who wants to understand the historical contexts and controversies related to the musical.
I am by no means a Hamilton hater. I'm rather the opposite. Hamilton was introduced to me in 2017, and I couldn't have loved it more. I sang the soundtrack for months on end. I still continue my search for the perfect book about him, his amazing wife Eliza, his children and his relationship with the Schuyler sisters.However this book was a MESS! I couldn't even BEGIN to decipher the garbage inside. I didn't even finish the sample. It was that bad.I am by no means trying to slander this book's name like Adams and Reynolds did to Alexander.Overall there was some good info but this just wasn't my cup of tea. Disappointing to this 14-year-old Hamiltonion who adores this man and sings like Philipa Soo.
