Beschreibung:
Jordan E. Taylor (BLOOMINGTON, IN) is an editor and historian of American media and politics.
"To understand the American Revolution and the early republic, the author argues that we must attend to the descriptive truths--statements about the nature of the world and its politics--that the revolutionaries believed. The author draws on a large set of US and Canadian newspapers to show how Americans used information, and misinformation, from foreign newspapers to frame their political realities."--
