Dear H-SHEAR friends, This week H-SHEAR has an embarrassment of riches in store for you. While our special forum on Daniel Walker Howe's _What Hath God Wrought_ is getting underway, on Thursday I will publish another interactive book review session. The book under review is Catherine O'Donnell Kaplan's _Men of Letters in the Early Republic: Cultivating Forums of Citizenship_ (UNC Press, 2008). Kaplan is associate professor of history at Arizona State University and associate editor of _Frontiers: A Journal of Women's Studies_. Our reviewer is Mary Kelley, Professor of History at the University of Michigan. Professor Kelley is past president of SHEAR, and her most recent book is _“Learning to Stand and Speak”: Women, Education, and Public Life in America’s Republic_ (UNC Press, 2006), which was the subject of a special roundtable discussion in a recent issue of the _Journal of the Early Republic_. I will post Professor Kelley's review and Professor Kaplan's response on Thursday, after which the list will be open to your comments and questions. Sincerely, Caleb McDaniel Co-editor, H-SHEAR Book Reviews W. Caleb McDaniel Assistant Professor of History Rice University http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~wcm1
