Early American artists and political thinkers wrestled with the
challenges of forming a cohesive, if not coherent, culture and
political structure to organize the young republic and its diverse
peoples. The American School of Empire shows how this American idea
of empire emerged through a dialogue with British forms of empire,
becoming foundational to how the US organized its government and
providing early Americans with the framework for thinking about the
relations between states and the disparate peoples and cultures
that defined them. Edward Larkin places special emphasis on the
forms of the novel and history painting, which were crucial
vehicles for the articulation of the American vision of empire in
the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
