Przybyzewski, Linda C.A. "The Republic According to John Marshall Harland: Race, Republicanism, and Citizenship," Stanford University, September 1989.
This dissertation is a study of the political thought of Justice John Marshall Harlan the Elder, who sat on the Supreme Court from 1877 to 1911, where he was best known for his dissents in favor of civil rights protections for blacks. It argues that, far from being a twentieth-century liberal born ahead of his time, Harlan harked back to a republican egalitarianism which he believed that the founders had hoped for yet never actually achieved. The text uses a variety of hitherto neglected public and private papers, in addition to judicial decisions, in order to reconstruct his vision of a republican polity.
