Synopsis


This unique study of the phenomenon in American culture that is Benjamin Frank­lin examines Franklin’s writings against the milieu of colonial American journal­ism, presents a detailed literary analysis of Franklin’s writings, and opens up more than merely new understanding of Frank­lin’s rhetorical art. At every point in Franklin’s literary career, Sappenfield ably demonstrates, there is a sense of greater complexity in the man than has been gen­erally assumed.
