Hofstadter, Richard

Material type: Text

TextPublication details: New York; Vintage Books.; 1958Description: 381 pSubject(s):

America Politics and government

DDC classification:

320.973 Hof.

Summary: This is a study of men and ideas in American politics, from the Founding Fathers to F. D. R., and an ex planation of our national nostalgia for our past. It is unorthodox; it will outrage many people; but no one will deny the authority of its arguments, the happy dis enchantment of its mood, or the edged and sparkling irony of its style. The myths of history cast no spell on Mr. Hofstadter, so that he has been free to write a book noteworthy for its original interpretation of our chief political tradition and for its shrewd insight into the public character of our major statesmen.
