In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War, the role of the citizen was predominantly seen as political. However, Catherine O'Donnell Kaplan reveals that some Americans sought a realm of public engagement beyond politics, believing that virtue and happiness could not be achieved through politics alone. These individuals founded periodicals, shared manuscripts, and engaged in discussions about poetry, art, and human nature, focusing on thinkers like William Godwin and Edmund Burke rather than political candidates.
