Imaginary Friendship is the first in-depth study of the onset of the American Revolution through the prism of friendship, focusing on future US president John Adams and leading Loyalist Jonathan Sewall. The book is part biography, revealing how they shaped each other’s progress, and part political history, exploring their intriguing dangerous quest to clean up colonial politics. Literary history examines the personal dimension of discourse, resolving how Adams’s presumption of Sewall’s authorship of the Loyalist tracts Massachusettensis influenced his own magnum opus, Novanglus. The mystery is not why Adams presumed Sewall was his adversary in 1775 but why he was impelled to answer him.

As the governor of Massachusetts from 1760-1771, Bernard was the local representative of the King of England at the time of the American Revolutionary War. It was he who brought British troops to Boston in 1765, and he who eventually persuaded the king, his ministers and the Parliament that his colony was on the brink of a revolution. This book, a political biography, seeks to reconstruct the process that led the colonists to justify their opposition to Britain by excoriating Bernard as a tyrant and that prompted the governor to denounce colonists like Samuel Adams as revolutionaries. Illustrated with b&amp;w reproductions of period paintings. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
