POLITICAL COMPANIONS TO GREAT AMERICAN AUTHORS
Series Editor: Patrick Deneen, Georgetown University
The books published in Political Companions to Great American Authors
will illuminate the complex political thought of the nation's most celebrated
writers from the founding era to the present. The goal of the series is to demonstrate
how American political thought is understood and represented by great American
writers, but also to describe how our polity's understanding of fundamental
principles such as democracy, equality, freedom, toleration, and fraternity
have been influenced by these canonical authors.
This series will publish a broad spectrum of political theorists, philosophers, and literary critics and
scholars to examine classic authors and explain their continuing influence on
American political, social, intellectual, and cultural life. By eschewing ephemeral
trends of literary and cultural theory, this series will reappraise and elevate
American authors and their writings as universal and lasting works of art that
continue to inform and guide the American democratic experiment.
