During the fifty years following the War for Independence, written and visual representations of the character and virtues of the Revolution's heroes proliferated throughout the republic in pyramid fashion. At the top of the pyramid were biographies of heroes. Because the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries conceived of biography as a branch of history, these lives of heroes were largely narratives of the war. The major exception to this style was Mason Locke Weems' anecdotal Life of Washington (1800), the most widely bought biography of the time. Chapter One examines biographies of the war's heroes, focusing on Weems' popular work.Subjects--Topical Terms:

During the fifty years following the War for Independence, written and visual representations of the character and virtues of the Revolution's heroes proliferated throughout the republic in pyramid fashion. At the top of the pyramid were biographies of heroes. Because the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries conceived of biography as a branch of history, these lives of heroes were largely narratives of the war. The major exception to this style was Mason Locke Weems' anecdotal Life of Washington (1800), the most widely bought biography of the time. Chapter One examines biographies of the war's heroes, focusing on Weems' popular work.

Further down the pyramid of distribution were magazine sketches of heroes. Although magazine editors sometimes produced character sketches of heroes, most often they reprinted the work of historians and biographers. The major original contribution of magazine editors was the commissioning and printing of graphic portraits. Chapter Two includes reproductions and discussions of many of these portraits. At the bottom of the pyramid of distribution rested schoolbook images of heroes. Chapter Three analyzes the form and function of these images, which were wholly derived from histories, biographies, and magazines.

Finally, Chapter Four surveys the entire range of images of heroes of the Revolution for thematic continuities. Belief in the power of images to instill virtue in readers was first among these continuities. Affection for parents and spouses, an attribute with which writers endowed heroes in order to demonstrate that Britain rather than the colonies was responsible for the war, constituted a second theme. A third thematic continuity was the stress on the classical virtues of heroes. Only a very few character portraits deviated from extolling the classical virtues of the Revolution's heroes. Continuity rather than change characterized the portraits of heroes created during the period 1782 to 1832.
