Includes bibliographies and index.

"This book analyzes Franklin D. Roosevelt's construction as a cultural icon in American memory from two perspectives. First, the author examines the historical leader who intentionally shaped his own public image. Second, she looks at portrayals and negotiations of FDR as an icon in cultural memory from the vantage point of the early twenty-first century"-- As a study of presidential image-fashioning, FDR in American Memory will be of immediate relevance to present-day readers.
