Drawing on hundreds of letters and testimonials, Jeremy C. Young illustrates how 'personal magnetism' in public speaking shaped society by enabling a shift from emotionally-inaccessible leadership to emotionally-available leadership. This charismatic speaking style caused a rapid transformation in the leader-follower relationship, creating an emotional link between speakers and listeners, and the effects of this social transformation remain with us today. Young argues that ultimately, charismatic movements enhanced American democracy by encouraging the personalization of leadership - creating a culture in which today's leaders appeal directly to Americans through mass media.Charisma (Personality trait)Political aspectsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryCharisma (Personality trait)Political aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPolitical leadershipUnited StatesHistory19th centuryPolitical leadershipUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistory19th centuryPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesPolitics and government1865-1933United StatesPolitics and government1933-1945United StatesSocial conditionsCharisma (Personality trait)Political aspectsHistoryCharisma (Personality trait)Political aspectsHistoryPolitical leadershipHistoryPolitical leadershipHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryPolitical cultureHistory303.34Young Jeremy C.1074795UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910163907203321The age of charisma2581876UNINA
