Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

A leading historian of the American Revolution offers an incisive portrait of the complex, often contradictory figure of Benjamin Franklin, a man who was at once the quintessential American and a cosmopolitan lover of Europe, a one-time loyalist turned revolutionary, and an ambassador whose French diplomacy, crucial to the American cause, became a source of suspicion at home. Reprint.


Review:

"A fascinating portrait of Franklin, not only as a forefather but as a man."

Publishers Weekly, 03/22/2004

Review:

"[A] dazzling biographical essay....THE AMERICANIZATION OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN does justice to its subject by enabling us to understand Franklin in all his richness and complexity."

John Brewer, New York Review of Books, 07/15/2004

Book Description: Penguin Books, United States, 2005. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 213 x 142 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. From the most respected chronicler of the early days of the Republic--and winner of both the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes--comes a landmark work that rescues Benjamin Franklin from a mythology that has blinded generations of Americans to the man he really was and makes sense of aspects of his life and career that would have otherwise remained mysterious. In place of the genial polymath, self-improver, and quintessential American, Gordon S. Wood reveals a figure much more ambiguous and complex--and much more interesting. Charting the passage of Franklin's life and reputation from relative popular indifference (his death, while the occasion for mass mourning in France, was widely ignored in America) to posthumous glory, The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin sheds invaluable light on the emergence of our country's idea of itself.
