<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: Knopf, 1948.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The American Political Tradition</i> is one of the most influential and widely read historical volumes of our time. First published in 1948, its elegance, passion, and iconoclastic erudition laid the groundwork for a totally new understanding of the American past. By writing a kind of intellectual history of the assumptions behind American politics, Richard Hofstadter changed the way Americans understand the relationship between power and ideas in their national experience. Like only a handful of American historians before him--Frederick Jackson Turner and Charles A. Beard are examples--Hofstadter was able to articulate, in a single work, a historical vision that inspired and shaped an entire generation.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born in 1916, Richard Hofstadter was one of the leading American historians and public intellectuals of the twentieth century. His works include <i>The Age of Reform</i>, <i>Anti-intellectualism in American Life</i>, <i>Social Darwinism in American Thought, 1860-1915</i>, <i>The American Political Tradition</i>, and others. He died in 1970.
