Articles by Joshua Kendall

An award-winning freelance journalist, Joshua Kendall has written for numerous publications including The Boston Globe, Business Week, Psychology Today, The Wall Street Journal and The Nation. His first book was a biography of Peter Mark Roget, the Victorian doctor and wordsmith. His most recent book, The Forgotten Founding Father: Noah Webster’s Obsession and the Creation of an American Culture, will come out in paperback this March. Joseph J. Ellis calls Kendall’s latest “by far the best, and best written, life of Webster,” and James McGrath Morris says, “Kendall single-handily rescues the least-known founder of American politics and culture and gives him his long overdue place of importance.”
