{"product_id":"9780300098587","title":"The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin","description":"\u003cbr\u003eA classic of eighteenth-century American history and literature, Benjamin Franklin's \u003ci\u003eAutobiography\u003c\/i\u003e has had an influence perhaps unequaled by any other book by an American writer. Written ostensibly as a letter to his son William, Franklin's \u003ci\u003eAutobiography\u003c\/i\u003e offers his reflections on philosophy and religion, politics, war, education, material success, and the status of women. \u003cp\u003ePrepared by the editors of \u003ci\u003eThe Papers of Benjamin Franklin\u003c\/i\u003e, this edition is drawn with scrupulous care from the original manuscript in Franklin's handwriting now in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. The introduction by Leonard W. Labaree places the autobiography in literary and historical contexts. In a new foreword, Edmund S. Morgan writes about Franklin's dual allegiance as an American and a subject of an English king—and his emergence as a leader of the American Revolution. This edition also includes biographical notes, a chronology of Franklin's life, and an updated bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027501924592,"sku":"9780300098587","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780300098587_p0.jpg?v=1763669665","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780300098587","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
