“Everyone knows” that saved the portrait when troops burned the White House in 1814.
But the real story is a lot more complicated, as you’ll discover in our post, “The Great Portrait Rescue.” https://digitaldoorway.montpelier.org/2019/08/22/the-great-portrait-rescue/?utm_content=buffer5b07d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

"Matthew Leporati argues that the epic revival not only reflects but also interrogates this evangelical turn. The first to examine the impact of the missionary work on epic literature, this book offers sustained analysis of both under-read and canonical works, bringing fresh historical and literary contexts to bear on our understanding of this unique revival of epic poetry."
