The contributors to this volume examine the popular images of
twenty-two American presidents. They attempt to determine the
public standing of these presidencies and consider each president
in terms of his image over time. It is argued that fluctuations in
succeeding generations' interpretations of past presidents are
significant to understanding the kaleidoscopic nature of
presidential images. A variety of analytical approaches is
employed, including examination of historical narrative, content
analysis of editorials and news coverage, and explication of public
opinion survey data. For public reactions and the reactions of
other leadership figures, the contributors have drawn from the
contemporary press as well as from the writings of historians and
political scientists. This collection of essays will open avenues
of thought on American political history anb shed new light on the
character of past presidents. It will be indispensable to those
engaged in the study of political history and political science.
