About this title

Synopsis

THE POLITICS OF THE UNIVERSE is the first study of the life of Edward Beecher (1803-95), scion of the fabulous Beechers of Boston. Ignored by historians in favor of his more famous father (Lyman Beecher), brother (Henry Ward Beecher), and sisters (Catharine Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe), Edward Beecher was a quiet, sensitive man who was less the active participant in history than he was the catalyst to the actions of others, the chronicler and conscience of his generation.
