  In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War the role of the citizen was seen as largely political. This title reveals that some Americans saw a need for a realm of public men outside politics. It looks at three groups: the Friendly Club in New York City; the circle around Joseph Dennie; and, the Anthologists of the Boston Athenaeum.
