Description

Neither his contemporaries nor subsequent historians have known quite what to do with John Quincy Adams. He was neither "conservative" nor "liberal", neither aristocrat nor democrat. Frequently at odds with New England's political and social leadership, he was influenced by both Puritan traditions of the 17th century and the scientific Enlightenment of the 18th. His life comprised three careers, with presidency, his least successful career, sandwiched between those of diplomat and Secretary of State on one hand and congressman on the other. This bibliography provides a guide to the literature on all three careers and a comprehensive listing of Adams's published writings. Following the introduction and a chronology of Adam's life, the volume opens with chapters devoted to manuscript and archival resources, the writings of John Quincy Adams, and general biographical publications. Chapters 4 and 5 list sources on Adam's early career and mature years, and in chapter 7, administration associates in chapter 8, and the post-presidential years in chapter 9. Chapter 10 covers his childhood and personal life. Two concluding chapters are devoted to historiography and iconography.
