He is the only Founding Father without a major memorial in the nation''s capital. When he lamented that monuments will never be erected to me, he predicted as much. His pessimism was understandable, but it was unjustified: Adams has since been portrayed in numerous biographies, plays, musicals, poems, novels, and television shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This is the first comprehensive overview of John Adams as he appears in scholarship and in popular culture. The second president is one-dimensional at times, and perhaps best known to the public as obnoxious and disliked, but he is always fascinating. The varied ways in which biographers and artists represented Adams provide a glimpse into his character. These portrayals also provide insight into the various ways in which people continue to find meaning in the American Revolution and its aftermath. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne. John Adams: A Brief Life Summary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo. The Historians' View: Early Biographies Through the 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree. Historiography from 1976 to the Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour. The John Adams of the Literary World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive. \"Obnoxious and Disliked\": The John Adams of 1776\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix. John Adams on the Small Screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven. The McCullough and HBO John Adams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight. John Adams of Quincy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine. The Adams National Historical Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040484720983,"sku":"9781476683430","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476683430.jpg?v=1750946898","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/remembering-john-adams-9781476683430","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
