This review is from: Men of Letters in the Early Republic: Cultivating Forums of Citizenship (Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture) (Paperback)
Kaplan shows how civic virtue was understood by some intellectuals in the early years of the United States. The vital issues of the time act as a soundboard to the narrative. Most notably the French Revolution, of which the varying viewpoints amongst the American literati are canvassed and brought back from fading letters to us here.You can see that those mentioned in the book were serious thinkers, deeply concerned about not just their young nation but of tumultuous events in Europe and the possible effects of these on the US. An impressive start for the American republic. |
