Description

J.A. Leo Lemay (ed).
Benjamin Franklin is the model American of an America that we have created. But if we can go beyond our preconceptions of Franklin & the 1776 & 1976 image of America, we can learn something of the truth, as well as the art, of his writings. Taken together, these essays on Franklin provide an overview of his attitude, purpose, & significance as a man & as a writer for his own time & for ours; taken separately, they provide valuable insights into what Franklin was & wrote. The first group of essays deals with Franklin’s life. The second group of essays treats Franklin as a writer. The last 2 essays concern Franklin’s reputation & influence.
