<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Through portraits of four figures--Charles Willson Peale, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, William Dunlap, and Noah Webster--Joseph Ellis provides a unique perspective on the role of culture in post-Revolutionary America, both its high expectations and its frustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>An entrepreneur, a writer who wanted to depict an ideal society, a dramatist who tried to reconcile high aesthetic standards and populism, and a Connecticut Yankee who ran into the contradictions of conservatism and liberalism--each of the four men depicted in this book had a vision of what kind of society post-Revolutionary America should be. Through portraits of these bellwether figures, the prize-winning historian Joseph J. Ellis examines the currents that were shaping the new country.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Ellis' argument ably combines sweeping breadth and fine detail: a solid piece of scholarship with something important to say about a turning point in American history.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
