Dive into the intriguing world of a young Benjamin Franklin, who, while working as an apprentice for his brother James at The New-England Courant, faced the challenge of being unheard. Frustrated by his brothers refusal to publish his writings, the fifteen-year-old Franklin took matters into his own hands. Under the clever pseudonym Silence Dogood, he penned a series of fourteen letters, each released fortnightly from April to December of 1722. These letters not only showcased his wit and intellect but also provided keen insights into the societal issues of his time. Join us on this journey through Franklins early years and discover the voice of a future founding father. (Introduction by Darcy Smittenaar)Copyright Early Modern アート 世界 文学史・文学批評 社会科学 科学
