Andrews, Charles McLean

Andrews, Charles McLean

▪ American historian
born Feb. 22, 1863, Wethersfield, Conn., U.S.
died Sept. 9, 1943, New Haven, Conn.

      U.S. teacher and historian whose Colonial Period of American History, vol. 1 of 4, won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1935.

      After teaching at various American universities, Andrews was professor of American history at Yale University from 1910 to 1931. Well started on his important guides to colonial materials in English archives before he went to Yale, he became a leader in colonial historiography. His own history belongs to the “imperial school,” which places the emphasis on the American colonies as dependent parts of the British system so that the centre of the colonial story belongs in Great Britain. This interpretation runs through his widely accepted books and those of historians he trained.

      Among his writings are Colonial Self-Government, 1652–89, vol. 5 of The American Nation, a History (1904), and The Colonial Period (1912).
