About This Item
University of Pennsylvania Press, 1976. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust jacket: Fine. Hardcover. Mint condition with no marks, blemishes, tears, or chips. Slight fading to the base and top of spine of boards. Protected in mylar cover. Inscription by the author. Benjamin Franklin is the model American of an America that we have created. But if we can go beyond our preconceptions of Franklin and the 1776 and 1976 image of America, we can learn something of the truth, as well as the art, of his writings. The essays in this volume evaluate Franklin as a printer, publicist, and travel writer; they probe the structure, style, and organization of his most famous literary works, and assess his place in intellectual history. Taken together, the essays provide an overview of Franklin's attitude, purpose, and significance as a man and as a writer for his own time and for ours; taken separately, they provide valuable insights into what Franklin was and wrote. The first group of essays deals with Franklin's life. The second group of essays treats Franklin as a writer. The last two essays concern Franklins reputation and influence.
