Relevance
Peer-reviewed reception of Sandeen 1995 in the leading British journal of American studies (published by Cambridge University Press). Confirms that Sandeen’s book was received across disciplinary and national communities — American historians in AHR (src-ahr-1997-review-sandeen) and Americanists in JAS. Useful for any claim about the scholarly standing of Sandeen’s argument.
Cross-reference to src-sandeen-1995 (reviewed work; anchor for all 1990s FoM reception claims).
