The subject of Michael Warner's book is the rise of a nation.
America, he shows, became a nation by developing a new kind of
reading public, where one becomes a citizen by taking one's place
as writer or reader. At heart, the United States is a republic of
letters, and its birth can be dated from changes in the culture of
printing in the early eighteenth century. The new and widespread
use of print media transformed the relations between people and
power in a way that set in motion the republican structure of
government we have inherited. Examining books, pamphlets, and
circulars, he merges theory and concrete analysis to provide a
multilayered view of American cultural development.
