Paul Revere and the World He Lived In (Pulitzer Prize Winner). Illustrated
About this book
Esther Forbes' Paul Revere and the World He Lived In is a masterful blend of biography and historical narrative that brings Revolutionary-era America vividly to life. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1943, this classic work explores not only the life of the famed patriot Paul Revere, but also the social, political, and cultural environment that shaped him and the American Revolution.
Far more than a simple retelling of Revere's famous midnight ride, the book presents him as a complex figure—a skilled silversmith, an ardent Son of Liberty, a shrewd businessman, and a man deeply woven into the fabric of colonial Boston. Through meticulous research and evocative prose, Forbes reconstructs the dynamic world of 18th-century New England, from the bustling streets of Boston to the growing unrest that would ignite a revolution.
What sets this biography apart is its focus on context: Forbes places Revere's story within the larger currents of his time, introducing readers to the artisans, merchants, ministers, and radicals who together shaped early American identity. Her rich, humanistic portrayal gives depth not only to Revere himself but to the broader struggle for independence.
Written with literary elegance and historical precision, Paul Revere and the World He Lived In is both informative and immersive—a definitive portrait of one of America's most iconic figures, and a window into the revolutionary world that forged a nation.
