In the Nation’s Service: How James Madison’s Education Helped Him Change History
Michael Signer is the author of Becoming Madison: The Extraordinary Origins of the Least Likely Founding Father, which Kirkus Reviews has called “a perfect introduction to a deeply private and immensely important man.” Signer will speak about the profound impact of James Madison’s Princeton education, with a special focus on his relationship with John Witherspoon. Becoming Madison examines Madison’s early years, including the indefatigable intensity that exhibited itself in his early studies, the dark moral philosophy he took away from Witherspoon, his founding membership of the Whig debating society, and his difficult relationship with his family while in New Jersey.
