Abstract

Few would imagine James Madison as the dreamy, tongue-tied romantic type, yet this description of the Father of the Constitution during his courtship of Dolley Payne Todd is but one of many wonderfully revealing documents that appear in the Congressional series of The Papers of James Madison. The completion of Series I of this edition provides an opportunity to review how well the six volumes document Madison and the history of the early republic under the Constitution.
