The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: with Related Documents

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: with Related Documents (Bedford Series in History and Culture)

The third edition of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, with Related Documents continues to encourage students to think about the work's lasting impact on American society and culture. Louis P. Masurâ€™s introduction is designed to make Franklin accessible and inviting to students. An expanded Related Documents section provides a sample of Franklinâ€™s voluminous writings. Two new documents reveal Franklin at his curious, inventive best, offering readers a glimpse of Franklin outside of the Autobiography. A new visual source pairing invites students to interpret Franklinâ€™s changing image over time, through the works of two different artists. A chronology, questions for consideration, a bibliographic essay, and an index enrich studentsâ€™ understanding of Franklin, eighteenth-century America, and the rags-to-riches ideal that has played, and continues to play, such a significant role in American history.
