Synopsis:

The author shows how the growing and changing Library was influenced by - and in turn affected - major intellectual, social, historical and political trends that occupied the sphere of public discourse in late 18th- and early 19th-century America.

Review: "The strength of Books, Maps, and Politics is its emphasis on the growth of a national print culture and its descriptions of how legislators' attitudes affected the development of the Library."
