Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Rights, Power, and Democracy Among the Anti-Federalists
“…Faber focuses on the development of Anti-Federalist ideas. He draws upon recent works on the Anti-Federalists that reveal a diversity in their approaches and arguments.”
History Is Never Certain
“Tocqueville would urge us to follow him… by thinking with him, learning creatively from his life, and remembering that history is never predetermined, never written in advance. Zunz’s biography helps us to do just that.”
Reading Dante on His Terms
“Frisardi… shows his love for the Supreme Poet by gathering thoughtful essays on his work into a coherent, useful book that explores Dante on his terms.”
In Memory Of Gerald J. Russello, 1971-2021
A poem by Eugene Schlanger.
Men Rode to Catraeth
“Clarke reworks one of the most significant early Welsh poems into a modern song that anyone can appreciate. She reminds us that poetry must first and foremost move its readers, must cast a spell of words and rhythm that incites our passions and our imaginations.”
American Hegemony in Higher Education
“…Kirby examines the birth of the research university and its integration with the liberal education model in a global and comparative context.”
The Causes of Moral Agency
“Particularly in these hyper-polarized times, conservatives should be the first to break out of the blame-the-system-versus-blame-the-victim false dichotomy.”
Resurrecting John Keats
“Lucasta Miller, in her brilliant new book on Keats, writes, ‘To read him is to participate in an invisible web that has connected human beings over millennia via the literary imagination.'”
Partisan Citizens
“Citizenship demands open-minded discourse among persons from different backgrounds and with varying ideas in the interest of forming and preserving a consensus concerning the most advisable form of government.”
