THIS VOLUME in the United States Capitol Historical Society's
Perspectives on the American Revolution series explores how the
architecture of the Capitol is imbued with the political culture of
its time. Editor Donald R. Kennon writes, "Just as the
constitutional framework for the new nation adapted and
reformulated classical theories of republicanism, so too would the
creation of its capital. The classical past would serve as models,
but as models to be worked out in the context of the new American
experiment in republicanism." These essays emanated from the
syposium held by the Society in 1993 to commemorate the
bicentennial of the laying of the cornerstone of the United States
Capitol.
