Democracy's Spectacle: Sovereignty and Public Life in Antebellum American Writing
Jennifer Greiman

In this book, the author looks to an earlier moment in the history of American democracy's interpretation of sovereignty to argue such questions about the popularization of sovereign power debates about political belonging in the antebellum US.
