Arthur Stanley Link (August 8, 1920 in New Market, Virginia - March 26, 1998 in Advance, North Carolina) was an American historian and educator, known as the leading authority on U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. As a historian of the Progressive Era, Link made three major contributions: The first was to stress the importance of Progressivism in the South (a theme developed by C. Vann Woodward) and the importance of the South to progressivism nationally. Link saw Wilson as a southerner with a Southern base, who thus broadened the scope of the politics of progressivism. The second was to locate the heart of Progressivism in Theodore Roosevelt's New Nationalism platform of 1912, not in Wilson's New Freedom, the point being that Wilson was a conservative until 1913, when he suddenly accepted the core values of Roosevelt's proposals to use the federal government to reform the economy. The third was to argue that Progressivism collapsed after World War I because of internecine conflicts among reformers and uncertainties about how to pursue their agendas further. The Progressives ran out of ideas and left the field to Warren G. Harding. Nevertheless, Link also argued that Progressivism was stronger in the 1920s than was generally acknowledged and that the underground currents formed the heart of the New Deal in the 1930s. This massive multi-volume {reported as 69 volumes] collection includes all important letters, speeches, interviews, press conferences, and public papers on Woodrow Wilson. The volumes make available as never before the materials essential to understanding Wilson's personality, his intellectual, religious, and political development, and his careers as educator, writer, orator, and statesman. The Papers not only reveal the private and public man, but also the era in which he lived, making the series additionally valuable to scholars in various fields of history between the 1870's and the 1920's. The documents in this, the second, volume begin at January 1, 1881, and end at January 31, 1884. Covers the period from Wilson's withdrawal from the University of Virginia, through the end of his first semester as a graduate student in political economy at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The materials in this volume shed much new light on an interval in Wilson's life heretofore generally obscure. The letter in this volume reveal, to an astonishing degree, the details of Wilson's personal live and development between 1881 and 1884: his love affair with his cousin, Hattie Woodrow, his continuing relationships with members of his family and with Princeton classmates, his life in Atlanta while trying to lay the foundations of a legal practice, his decision to abandon the practice of law for a career in teaching, his courtship of Ellen Louise Axson, and the first stage of his career as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins., Princeton University Press, 1967<
