Description   Gordon S. Wood (au). Provides a rich perspective on one of the most accomplished, complex, & unpredictable Americans of his own time or any other. We all know Benjamin Franklin, or think we do: the genial polymath, prodigious self-improver, & quintessential American. The problem with this beloved notion is that it’s simply not true. In his groundbreaking & enormously engaging study, Wood rescues Franklin from a mythology that has blinded generations of Americans to the no less admirable but far more interesting man Franklin really was. This landmark work gives us a magnificent, fresh vision of Franklin’s life & reputation, a vital new understanding of the American Revolution, & profound insight into the emergence of America’s idea of itself.
