| | Birth Date: | 1916 | | Death Date: | July 8, 2013 | | | | | Edmund Morgan, Sterling Professor Emeritus at Yale University, wrote dozens of books on Puritan and early colonial history. Acclaimed for both their scholarly focus and their appeal to a general audience, his books include Inventing the People: The Rise of Popular Sovereignty in England and America (1988), which won Columbia University's Bancroft Prize in American History in 1989, and American Slavery, American Freedom (1975), which won the Society of American Historians' Francis Parkman Prize, the Southern Historical Association's Charles S. Sydnor Prize and the American Historical Association's Albert J. Beveridge Award. Two of his early books, Birth of the Republic (1956) and The Puritan Dilemma (1958) were for decades required reading in many school history courses. Dr. Morgan's other works include biographies of Ezra Stiles and Roger Williams as well as a book on George Washington. He is a truly significant interpreter of the colonial period of American history whose skills of analysis and presentation encompass political, intellectual and social history. Edmund Morgan died July 8, 2013, at the age of 97 in New Haven, Connecticut. | |
