Keywords
While we welcome keywords related to "Materiality," "Hospitality," "Settlement," "Masculinity," and "Race," we will allow Paxton historians and literary scholars to determine the collection of Keyword paths.
In our first keyword essay, James P. Myers, Jr. considers the role of anonymity in pamphleteering using Thomas Barton's "The Conduct of the Paxton Men, Impartially Represented" as a kind of case study.
The second keyword essay, authored by Scott Paul Gordon, posits that Paxton Boys' excursions to Lancaster served as a public rebuke of local elites, intended to shame authorities into fulfilling their roles as benevolent patriarchs.
Below "Contents" you may access both essays.
