Meyer 1984 is considered the bedrock of modern scholarship on the classics in early America. Richard 1994 provides a thorough survey and analysis of the different ways in which the classical canon shaped the thought and action of the founding generation. Richard 2009 transferred his earlier work’s insights to the nineteenth century, specifically to the replacement of Rome as the leading model by Athens in the democratising Jacksonian America. Shalev 2009 has focused on the unique historical consciousness that enabled revolutionary Americans to think of themselves as modern-day Romans. Winterer 2009 and 2010 trailblazed new territory in the scholarship of the various ways in which classics participated in the political discourse of the time.
