Riassunto

An entrepreneur, a writer who wanted to depict an ideal society, a dramatist who tried to reconcile high aesthetic standards and populism, and a Connecticut Yankee who ran into the contradictions of conservatism and liberalism—each of the four men depicted in this book had a vision of what kind of society post-Revolutionary America should be. Through portraits of these bellwether figures, the prize-winning historian Joseph J. Ellis examines the currents that were shaping the new country.

Product Description

Through portraits of four figures - Charles Wilson Peale, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, William Dunlap and Noah Webster - this text provides a perspective on the role of culture in post-Revolutionary America, both it's high expectations and it's frustrations. Each life is fascinating in its own right and each is used to illuminate the historical context.
