In 1722, the world--or at least a bustling seaport in the British Province of Massachusetts Bay--was introduced to the wit and wisdom of Benjamin Franklin. Writing anonymously in his brother's newspaper, the teenage Franklin took the first small steps that would make him the greatest American personage of his day. Young Benjamin was an apprentice to his brother, James Franklin, just nine years his elder, who had founded The New-England Courant, a popular anti-establishment newspaper in Boston. It was within this environment that young Benjamin also determined to make his first efforts as a journalist. Writing in his autobiography, Franklin says of his brother: "He had some ingenious Men among his Friends who amuse'd themselves by writing little Pieces for this Paper, ... . Hearing their Conversations, and their Accounts of the Approbation their Papers were receiv'd with, I was excited to try my Hand among them. But being still a Boy, and suspect that my Brother would object to printing any Thing of mine in his Paper, if he knew it to be mine, I contriv'd to disguise my Hand, and writing an anonymous Paper I put it in the Night under the Door of the Printing House." Thus was born Silence Dogood--the first in a long string of pseudonyms that Benjamin Franklin would write under during his lifetime, the most famous of which, no doubt, was Richard Saunders of Poor Richard's Almanack. The paper that young Ben had written and slipped under the door was a Letter to the Editor from a middle-aged Boston widow named Silence Dogood. The Dogood letters were met with almost immediate approval. In all, Ben wrote fourteen letters in the hand of Silence Dogood, never revealing his true identity. Franklin admits in his autobiography that he felt "exquisite pleasure" upon first hearing the praise for his first letter and the musings of his brother's colleagues as to who the clever writer might be. The Silence Dogood letters are a whimsical slice of colonial American satire. That Ben Franklin wrote so delightfully--and convincingly--in the voice of a forty-year old woman as a sixteen-year old boy was proof of his budding genius. This fine annotated edition includes all fourteen of the original Silence Dogood letters along with an informative Foreword, Afterword, and Chapter notes for each letter.

The subject of Michael Warner's book is the rise of a nation. America, he shows, became a nation by developing a new kind of reading public, where one becomes a citizen by taking one's place as writer or reader. At heart, the United States is a republic of letters, and its birth can be dated from changes in the culture of printing in the early eighteenth century. The new and widespread use of print media transformed the relations between people and power in a way that set in motion the republican structure of government we have inherited. Examining books, pamphlets, and circulars, he merges theory and concrete analysis to provide a multilayered view of American cultural development.
