Seeks to understand how 19th-century Americans answered the question of how people should participate in politics, focusing on the political culture of the urban North during the turbulent Jacksonian Age, roughly 1830-50, when the shape and character of the democratic republic were still fluid. Interprets, in light of popular discourse such as newspapers and novels, several key texts in 19th-century American political thought, looking at speeches by Frederick Douglass, Angelina GrimkT's debate with Catherine Beecher, Frances Wright's letters, and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin . Smith is assistant professor of political science at Carleton College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
