Sheehan, Colleen A.
James Madison and the spirit of republican self-government / Colleen A. Sheehan. - New York : Cambridge University Press, 2009. - 1 online resource (xix, 204 pages)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-195) and index.
Introduction: Madison's legacy -- Republican opposition -- The Federalist agenda -- Madison and the French Enlightenment -- The commerce of ideas -- The politics of public opinion -- Madison and Jefferson : an appeal to the people -- The spirit of republican government -- Epilogue: The philosopher's stone and the poet's reprise.
"In the first study that combines an in-depth examination of James Madison's National Gazette essays of 1791-92 with a study of The Federalist, Colleen A. Sheehan traces the evolution of Madison's conception of the politics of communication and public opinion throughout the Founding period, demonstrating how "the sovereign public" would form and rule in America." "Contrary to those scholars who claim that Madison dispensed with the need to form an active and virtuous citizenry, Sheehan argues that Madison's vision for the new nation was informed by the idea of republican self-government, whose manifestation he sought to bring about in the spirit and way of life of the American people."--Jacket
