In this monumental new biography, Robert V. Remini gives us a full
life of Webster from his birth, early schooling, and rapid rise as
a lawyer and politician in New Hampshire to his equally successful
career in Massachusetts where he moved in 1816. Remini treats both
the man and his time as they tangle in issues such as westward
expansion, growth of democracy, market revolution, slavery and
abolitionism, the National Bank, and tariff issues. Webster's
famous speeches are fully discussed as are his relations with the
other two of the "great triumvirate", Henry Clay and John C.
Calhoun. Throughout, Remini pays close attention to Webster's
personal life - perhaps more than Webster would have liked - his
relationships with family and friends, and his murky financial
dealings with men of wealth and influence.
