The Clements Bookworm: Liberty and Insanity in the Age of the American Revolution
Fellow Focus with Sarah Swedberg
Clements Library 2019 Peckham Fellow Sarah Swedberg joins us to discuss her new book "Liberty and Insanity in the Age of the American Revolution," published in December 2020 by Rowman & Littlefield. Dr. Swedberg’s research focuses on the anxiety of the first generation of American citizens as they created a republican form of government. Her recent research focuses on “lunatics” (the term used at the time), and weaves together medical and political histories.
