Use of Biblical and Classical Allusions in American Revolutionary and Early Constitutional Literature
Abstract
The primary purpose of this thesis is to examine how our founding fathers employed the ancient past in the pamphlet literature of the Revolutionary era. Although English and early colonial history were extremely important in that literature, the abundance of ancient and Biblical references suggested that the ancient past was genuinely instructive for the Patriots, Tories, Federalists, and Antifederalist.
