About this product

Product Information

This engaging book reveals Benjamin Franklin's human side--his tastes and habits, his enthusiasms, and his devotion to democracy and the people of the United States. Three hundred years after his birth, we may remember Franklin's famous "Autobiography," or his status as framer of the Declaration of Independence and the peace with Great Britain, or his experiments in electricity, or perhaps his sage advice on diligence and thrift. But historian Edmund S. Morgan invites us to meet the man himself, a sociable, good-natured, and extraordinary human being with boundless curiosity about the natural world and a vision of what America could be. Drawing on lifelong research in the vast Franklin archives, Morgan assembles both famous and lesser-known writings that offer insights into this founding father's thinking. The book is organized around four major themes, each with an introduction. The first section includes journal excerpts and letters revealing Franklin's personal tastes and habits. The second is devoted to Franklin's inexhaustible intellectual energy and his scientific discoveries. The third and fourth chronicle his devotion to serving the people who became the United States both before and after the Revolution and to advancing his democratic vision of their future. Franklin's humanity and genius have never seemed more real than in the pages of this appealing anthology.

"What James Boswell did for Samuel Johnson, Edmund Morgan has now done for Benjamin Franklin, here allowing us into a conversation that brings the great man to life in all his Protean splendor."-Joseph J. Ellis, author of "Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation"" " , "Edmund Morgan, the most distinguished of Benjamin Franklin's scholars and fans, has put together a glorious compendium of his writings that reminds us how delightful and witty he was. You will be mesmerized-and find out what that word really means!"-Walter Isaacson, author of "Benjamin Franklin: An American Life", "A fine collection, greatly enhanced by Morgan's sprightly and readable introductions."-Gordon S. Wood, Brown University
