What is the author's style in The Radicalism of the American Revolution by Gordon S. Wood?

The Radicalism of the American Revolution is a scholarly tome written in solid, flowing academic prose. There are a few extended quotations from source materials and a liberal sprinkling of in-line quotes that help capture the spirit of the times. They are, of course, rendered in the formal British of the day, many in the phonetic spelling of the unlettered. No literary devices are used in this straightforward text.
