Description
Claude Fohlen takes a unique approach to this all-American icon by highlighting his "European experience." As Franklin spent several years in London and Paris, Fohlen argues that this presence in both the "New" and "Old" worlds gave him a sort of dual sensibility that was unmatched among his compatriots.
A stimulating account of one of America's best-loved heroes.
