Each of the founding scholars contributed to it according to his interests and inclinations. James Harvey Robinson, Charles Beard, and Carl Becker are in the focus of this book. Next to them Vernon Parrington and Harry Elmer Barnes played subsidiary roles, not quite founders and not yet epigones. Turner is included be cause he and the Progressive historians were the outstanding American representatives of the contemporary international search for a New History appropriate to the modern age. Because of that kinship, Turner's work offers an especially instructive contrast and parallel to that of the Progressive historians.".
