Publication News

Prof. Andrew Burstein's most recent book, published by Palgrave MacMillan, is entitled Lincoln Dreamt He Died: The Midnight Visions of Remarkable Americans from Colonial Times to Freud. It is a cultural history of dreams, examining the inner lives of earlier generations of Americans.

Prof. Benjamin Martin's new book, Years of Plenty, Years of Want: France and the Legacy of the Great War, was recently published by Northern Illinois University Press. Martin examines the national mood and daily life of France in July 1914 and August 1939, to help explain the burden of winning the Great War and embracing the collapse that followed.
