Athena’s Reviews > His Excellency: George Washington > Status Update

Hmmm, Ellis seems to be of the anti-Washington school of scholarship, lately so popular (children rejecting paternal figures?); he's not shying from inserting negative descriptors ('scheming', 'awkward', etc.) while not providing reasonable argument for same. Thus far I find his writing rather judgmental & somewhat presentist, though the bones of his scholarship are impeccable.
