- A Biographical and Critical Study

Bag om Parson Weems

""Parson Weems: A Biographical And Critical Study"" by Lawrence C. Wroth is a comprehensive analysis of the life and work of Mason Locke Weems, an American book agent and author who is best known for his biographical works on George Washington, including the famous cherry tree anecdote. Wroth's book delves into the historical and cultural context of Weems' life, examining his upbringing, education, and career as a traveling bookseller and writer. The author also provides a critical analysis of Weems' literary style, exploring the ways in which his works contributed to the development of American national identity and myth-making. This book is an essential resource for scholars of American literature and history, as well as anyone interested in the cultural and political forces that shaped early American identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
