| Abstract | Hammer's article discusses the rising American interest for Swiss history and politics in the second half of the 19th century. It concentrates on three aspects of the work of American historian and political scientist William McCrackan: his interpretation of Swiss history, his analysis of the Swiss political system, and his appeals to introduce Swiss models of direct democracy in the United States. It concludes with a brief discussion of the reception of his work by contemporaries. |
