Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) Contributing Editor: David M. Larson Classroom Issues and Strategies The primary problem involved in teaching Benjamin Franklin in an American literature course is persuading students to view Franklin as a writer. The myth surrounding Franklin and the fact that he writes in genres many students view as informational rather than literary keep students from viewing Franklin's works as literature. In order to persuade students to treat Franklin as a writer, it is useful to demonstrate through literary analysis that issues of personae, organization, irony, style, and so forth are as applicable to writing that deals with factual information as they are to poetry, fiction, or drama. In teaching the Autobiography , instructors should keep in mind that it is helpful to have students approach it as though it were a picaresque novel; they can then bring to bear upon the work the techniques that they have developed for analyzing fiction. Students usually respond to and are rather disturbed by the protean quality of Franklin's personality and the variety of his achievement. They want the "real" Franklin to stand up and make himself known, and they want to know how he accomplished so much. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues

Selected Papers HOME PREFACE AFTERWORD PDF ... MORE INFO FRANKLIN HENRY MICHELSON ROWLAND GIBBS ... COMPTON B ENJAMIN F RANKLIN In 1776 Benjamin Franklin He was forty years old before he took up scientific research; until then he had been chiefly concerned with earning a living. His brief formal education ended at the age of ten when he was removed from school to help his father, a Boston chandler and soapmaker. But he had acquired an interest in books and was soon apprenticed to his elder brother, a printer. Before the end of his apprenticeship he ran away to seek his fortune, and after a short time in Philadelphia, sailed for England. In London he perfected his knowledge of the art of printing and made friends with some gentlemen scientists. He just missed being introduced to the aging Isaac Newton. Returning to Philadelphia in 1726, Franklin set up a printing business. His Poor Richard's Almanack and other publications were popular, and he also succeeded in colonial society, throwing himself enthusiastically into every variety of civic affairs. In 1743 an itinerant lecturer from England demonstrated the latest electrical experiments to the wondering colonials. Franklin saw these demonstrations and later bought the lecturer's entire apparatus. In 1745 he began to experiment on his own, and soon after turned the management of his printing business over to a partner. "When I disengaged myself . . . from private business," he wrote, "I flatter'd myself that, by the sufficient tho' modest fortune I had acquired, I had secured leisure during the rest of my life for philosophical studies and amusements."

Benjamin Franklin II. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: 1706-1790. Next to Washington the most conspicuous and most widely useful of Americans throughout the eighteenth century was Benjamin Franklin. He was perhaps the most typical American of his time; certainly he was the most versatile man of affairs and the most picturesque in personality of all that distinguished group who helped to guide the nation in that troubled age. Through the second quarter of the century he lived the quiet life of a thrifty, sagacious man of business, at the same time taking a practical interest in matters of public moment and presenting the most original model of good citizenship that can be found. His contribution to American literature, the larger portion of which belongs to this earlier period of his career, is not great, but it is noteworthy. Boyhood in Boston Benjamin Franklin Habits of Study. From his earliest childhood, Franklin had a passion for books. So soon as he could read, he had waded through the small library a musty collection of treatises on divinity which he found on his father's shelves. With his first spending money, he bought the works of John Bunyan, in separate little volumes; and these he later sold in order to buy Richard Burton's Historical Collections , small and cheap, in forty volumes. Among his father's books, he discovered a copy of

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) D. Benjamin Franklin. Johann Elias Haid (d. 1809). Mezzotint, 1780. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division . Reproduction Number: LC-USZ62-45185. Benjamin Franklin gave over sixty years of his life to public service, but he never turned his back on his trade printing. Apprenticed to a Boston printer at the age of twelve, his talent and ambition drove him to Philadelphia after five years, seeking new challenges. Seven years later, in 1730, he purchased a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette ; the paper flourished due to editor Franklin's wise and witty writing. Poor Richard's Almanack , Franklin's most popular publication (1732-1757), earned him so much money that for the first time in his life, he could enjoy the luxury of leisure time. He began to experiment with electricity, establishing himself as a gifted scientist. Besides his skills as a printer and a writer, Franklin had many civic interests. In Philadelphia, he involved himself with public welfare, fire-fighting, and education. His civic involvement led to political activities, and by 1751, Franklin was in the Pennsylvania legislature, where he served for twelve years. During the Revolutionary War, he acted as American Minister to France, successfully gaining French support for the new American nation. Enormously popular among the French, Franklin had his own printing press at Passy, and he frequently printed American propaganda and witty amusements for his friends. Franklin's last public service was in the Constitutional Convention, where he enjoyed the respect and admiration due to a living legend.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) "The Father of all the Yankees" by James J. Kirschke "The Father of all the Yankees," thus does the eminent Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) refer to the subject of this essay. And many subsequent authors have in effect echoed Carlyle's unqualified assessment of the sage Benjamin Franklin. Once armed hostilities with Great Britain began, Franklin was promptly elected to the Continental Congress. This body functioned in legislative and executive ways during the Revolutionary era colonies. In the Congress Franklin performed many important duties. For instance, he sketched a subsequent plan of union for the American colonies. Franklin also attempted to yoke the Canadians to the 13 colonies. He often advised Congress on American defense. He officially perused and commented on various peace proposals. As is well known, Thomas Jefferson composed the Declaration of Independence. But Franklin was one of the five delegates selected for the documents' Committee. He furthermore advised the American agents, to be sent abroad, as to how best to work to obtain arms and other kinds of assistance for America's struggle against Great Britain. This nation was in almost all respects the major Imperial superpower from the roughly the late 1760 until 1914.
