He was first known as the \"Father of His Country\" during his lifetime, when the American people bestowed the title upon him as a symbolic act of resistance and rebirth. Since then, presidents have stood as paternal figureheads for America, often serving as moral beacons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book tracks political fatherhood throughout world history, from the idea of the \u003ci\u003epater patriae\u003c\/i\u003e in Roman antiquity to Martin Luther's Bible translations and beyond. Often using George Washington as a paradigm, the author explores presidential iconography in the U.S., propaganda and the role of paternal rhetoric in shaping American sociopolitical history--including the results of the 2016 presidential election.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinz Tschachler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476681090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476681092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Heinz Tschachler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941057134847,"sku":"9781476681092","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_55aaf8f1-49fb-4923-bffd-ca6ef3b4c384.jpg?v=1681450658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-washington-and-political-fatherhood-heinz-tschachler-9781476681092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
