Recenzii
Lohman masterfully illustrates the central role of political song during the Federal era - how both partisan and nationalistic fervor resounded at public gatherings and shaped not just opinion but how Americans came to view themselves and their new country.
An insightful account of the cacophonous birth of American political life-its partisan propaganda, protests, and power plays-through the lyrical lens of the early nation's songwriters. Lohman offers a convincing tale that reveals how song's partisan counterpoint and national harmonies shaped the new nation's mythology and thus its form and future in ways that continue to resonate today.
