George Bubb Dangerfield (28 October 1904 – 27 December 1986) was a British-born American journalist, historian, and the literary editor of Vanity Fair from 1933 to 1935.
His book on the United States in the early 19th century, The Era of Good Feelings, won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for History.
Dangerfield was born in Newbury, Berkshire, England, and educated at Forest School, Walthamstow (then in Essex).
[citation needed] In 1941 Dangerfield published Victoria's Heir: The Education of a Prince, a work on the early life of Edward VII.
After serving with the US Army's 102nd Infantry Division during World War II,[3] Dangerfield returned to the study of history and wrote The Era of Good Feelings (1952), a history of the period between the presidencies of James Madison and Andrew Jackson, from the start of the War of 1812 to the start of Jackson's administration on 4 March 1829.
