Beskrivning

In The Rhetoric of the “Corrupt Bargain” in the 1824 Election: Clay, Jackson, and Democratic Strategy, Amos Kiewe explores the story of the 1824 presidential election, when the House of Representatives elected the president after no candidate won outright the majority of the Electoral College. Though most in the nation assumed that Andrew Jackson, who won the popular vote and the plurality of the Electoral College, would be elected the presidency by the House, Kiewe demonstrates how maneuvering, vote trading, and special favors dictated a different outcome. Through inspecting speeches, statements, private letters, and published accounts, Kiewe simultaneously intersects rhetoric, history, and politics to tell the story of the 1824 presidential election. Scholars of communication, political science, and history will find this book of particular interest.

Recensioner i media

“Kiewe’s study of the 1824 election involving Jackson and Clay offers vastly more than a detailed history of unliving proceedings or facts along a rapidly moving historical timeline. Rather, his micro-analysis of the language used during the campaigns, deployed throughout the debates, offered sotto voce in backroom chambers, and revealed through other public venues adds to the contour of not just rhetorical invention of the time, but also of discursive style. Kiewe offers readers a close-textual glimpse into one of our nation’s first truly tumultuous and uncertain electoral moments.”
