Examining the cosmic conceit at the heart of early American political rhetoric

Why does the American flag use stars to represent the states? In The Star-Spangled Republic, Eran Shalev answers this and many other questions, considering the cosmic imagery--so familiar today but so peculiar on reflection--that suffused the United States' early political culture. In this comprehensive study, Shalev uncovers how "political astronomy"--the discussion and representation of politics through astronomical models, allusions, and metaphors--reflected and facilitated the emerging worldview that enabled Americans to justify and find meaning in the country's new democratic modes of governance and its federal system. No other scholar has looked at American political rhetoric through this lens; in so doing, Shalev is able to explain in fascinating detail how Americans turned away from the sun of heliocentric monarchy toward the night sky full of federated constellations, and to discover republicanism imprinted in the firmament.
