Joel Barlow: American Citizen in a Revolutionary World
Provides a comprehensive overview of Joel Barlow's multifaceted life, detailing his journey from a young American poet to a significant figure in diplomatic and revolutionary circles. It explores his early life and education, including his time at Yale and his initial aspirations as a writer, notably with The Vision of Columbus.
