The "New Deal era" is hard to define with precision - in time or in
ideology. Some historians use New Deal to designate the intense
period of domestic reform legislation of the first Franklin Delano
Roosevelt administration, 1933-37. Others confine discussion of the
era to the legislation of 1933, and identify another wave of
legislation in 1935 as a Second New Deal. Most of the essays in
this book focus on the prewar period, with glimpses forward to the
rhetoric of the approach to and engagement in World War II. Among
the essays included in the volume are: American Rhetoric in the New
Deal Era, - Thomas W. Benson; No Ordinary Rhetorical President:
FDR's Speechmaking and Leadership, 1933-1945, - Vanessa B. Beasley
and Deborah Smith-Howell; FDR as Family Doctor: Medical Metaphors
and the Role of Physician in the Fireside Chats, - Suzanne M.
Daughton; Dictator, Savior, and the Return of Confidence: Text,
Context, and Reception in FDR's First Inaugural Address, - Davis W.
Houck and Mihaela Nocasian; FSA Photography and New Deal Visual
Culture, - Cara Finnegan; Eleanor Roosevelt: Social Conscience for
the New Deal, - Beth M. Waggenspack; The Rhetoric of Social
Security and Conservative Backlash: Frances Perkins as Secretary of
Labor, - Ann J. Atkinson; Necessity or Nine Old Men: The
Congressional Debate over Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1937
Court-Packing Plan, - Trevor Parry-Giles and Marouf Hasian Jr.; and
The Thundering Voice of John L. Lewis, - Richard J. Jensen. It also
includes: Father Charles E. Coughlin: Delivery, Style in Discourse,
and Opinion Leadership, - Ronald H. Carpenter; Reconsidering the
Demagoguery of Huey Long, - Robert S. Iltis; and Resisting the
"Inevitability" of War: The Catholic Worker Movement and World War
II, - Carol J. Jablonski.
