title = "A Revolution in Ink – Mapping Benjamin Franklin{\textquoteright}s Epistolary Network in the Habsburg Monarchy, 1776–1789",
abstract = "The American revolutionary and Founding Father Benjamin Franklin had significant ties to the Habsburg Monarchy. Between 1776 and 1789, Franklin received 253 letters from 93 individuals who either lived in or came from the Habsburg lands. Franklin corresponded with 15 Habsburg inhabitants during the same period. This article presents for the first time an overview of this epistolary network. It discusses the nature of individuals within the network and their strategies for communication. By examining this network we can discern Franklin{\textquoteright}s crucial points of contact within the Habsburg Monarchy as well as see how his public persona altered from scientist to revolutionary.",
