Historians on Hamilton : how a blockbuster musical is restaging America
America has gone Hamilton crazy. Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning 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? Perfect for students, teachers, theatre fans, hip-hop heads, and history buffs alike, these short and lively essays examine why Hamilton became an Obama-era sensation and consider its continued relevance in the age of Trump. Whether you are a fan or a skeptic, you will come away from this collection with a new appreciation for the meaning and importance of the Hamilton phenomenon [Publisher description]

Eliza : the story of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton
\"We all know the story of scrappy Alexander Hamilton and his rise in American politics--but how much do we know about his workmate, inspiration, and stabilizing force, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton? Margaret McNamara employs the letter-writing style of the period to tell the story of Eliza Hamilton, who was born into a family of considerable wealth, power, and influence in Albany, New York, in 1757. Eliza was expected to marry into a similarly powerful family...until she met and fell in love with the charismatic Hamilton.\"--Publisher's description.
BOOK
Hamilton and the Law
Since its Broadway debut, Hamilton: An American Musical
has infused itself into the American experience: who shapes it, who
owns it, who can rap it best. Lawyers and legal scholars,
recognizing the way the musical speaks to some of our most
complicated constitutional issues, have embraced Alexander Hamilton
as the trendiest historical face in American civics. Hamilton
and the Law offers a revealing look into the legal community's
response to the musical, which continues to resonate in a country
still deeply divided about the reach of the law.
A star-powered cast of legal minds-from two former U.S.
solicitors general to leading commentators on culture and
society-contribute brief and engaging magazine-style articles to
this lively book. Intellectual property scholars share their
thoughts on Hamilton 's inventive use of other sources,
while family law scholars explore domestic violence. Critical race
experts consider how Hamilton furthers our understanding
of law and race, while authorities on the Second Amendment discuss
the language of the Constitution's most contested passage. Legal
scholars moonlighting as musicians discuss how the musical lifts
history and law out of dusty archives and onto the public stage.
This collection of minds, inspired by the phenomenon of the musical
and the Constitutional Convention of 1787, urges us to heed
Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Founding Fathers and to create something
new, daring, and different.
