Douglass Adair
Douglass Greybill Adair (March 5, 1912 – May 2, 1968)〔()〕 was an American historian who specialized in intellectual history. He is best known for his work in researching the authorship of disputed numbers of ''The Federalist'' Papers, and his influential studies in the history and influence of republicanism in the United States during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries—the era of the Enlightenment. His most famous essay, "Fame and the Founding Fathers," introduced the pursuit of fame as a new motivation for understanding the actions for the Framers.
==Early life and education==
Douglass Greybill Adair was born in 1912 in New York City, but grew up with his family in Birmingham and Mobile, Alabama. He attended the University of the South in Tennessee, where he received his B.A. in English literature; he later earned his M.A. degree at Harvard University, and his Ph.D. degree at Yale University; he was awarded his doctorate in 1943 for his dissertation, ''The Intellectual Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy: Republicanism, the Class Struggle, and the Virtuous Farmer.'' This dissertation rejected the economic determinism associated with the highly influential historical work of Charles A. Beard; the dissertation's title responded directly to the title of Beard's 1915 book, ''The Economic Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy.'' Adair insisted that historical actors such as James Madison, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton were guided by their education and creative interaction with ideas derived from the evolving Atlantic intellectual tradition. These ideas—particularly the cluster of ideas, assumptions, habits of thought, and interpretative principles known as republicanism—played a crucial role in the early development of the United States. Though the dissertation remained unpublished for decades, the list of those who borrowed it from Yale's library is described as a "who's who in early American history."〔Colbourn, Trevor, ed., "Introduction," ''Fame and the Founding Fathers: Essays by Douglass Adair'' (New York: W.
