Public Lives, Private Virtues surveys portraits of American Revolutionary heroes in books, magazines, and school texts from 1782 to 1832 and relates these sketches to cultural changes of the period. The fifty years following the Revolution saw biography shift from historical narration to description of private experience. During this period magazine editors in the mid-Atlantic and New England states occasionally wrote sketches of heroes to provide readers with examples of virtue, but their major contribution was to publish original graphic portraits.
In all their forms during this period, narratives and portraits of Revolutionary heroes extolled classical virtues even though the rise of commerce and Americans' pursuit of individual wealth made these virtues anachronistic.
