The Democratic Soul
A Wilson Carey McWilliams Reader
In The Democratic Soul: A Wilson Carey McWilliams Reader, editors Patrick J. Deneen and Susan J. McWilliams, daughter of the famed intellectual, have assembled key essays, articles, reviews, and lectures that trace McWilliams's evolution as a scholar and explain his often controversial views on education, religion, and literature. The book also showcases his thoughts and opinions on prominent twentieth-century figures such as George Orwell and Leo Strauss. The first comprehensive volume of Wilson Carey McWilliams' collected writings, The Democratic Soul will be welcomed by scholars of political science and American political thought as a long-overdue contribution to the field.
About the Authors
Susan J. McWilliams is assistant professor of politics at Pomona College. She is the author of numerous articles published in journals and edited volumes. She lives in Claremont, California.
Reviews
"A treasury of thoughts and arguments from articles of the late Carey
McWilliams. All are still timely, still relevant to American politics
today. Political philosophy as he practiced it never goes out of style. How his keen eye and sturdy wisdom are missed!"—Harvey Mansfield, Professor of Government, Harvard University"
"Wilson Carey McWilliams was a seer, a small d-democrat, an artist who valued eloquent prose, and one of his era's shrewdest students of American politics. May this collection of some of his very best work introduce him to a new generation eager for a vision that is at once progressive, communitarian and deeply grounded in the realities of American history. McWiliams brought not only deep knowledge to his work, but also wisdom, compassion and a stubborn prophet's sense of what is right, what is just, and what is good."—E.J. Dionne, author of Why Americans Hate Politics"
"Collect[s] many of his most significant pieces, presenting both a nuanced picture of the underpinnings of our political life and an introduction to his thought."—First Things"—
