The Age of Reform

De: Richard Hofstadter

Narrado por: Keith Sellon-Wright

This work is a landmark in American political thought. Preeminent Richard Hofstadter examines the passion for progress and reform that colored the entire period from 1890 to 1940 with startling and stimulating results.

The Age of Reform searches out the moral and emotional motives of the reformers, the myths and dreams in which they believed, and the realities with which they had to compromise.

Still timely after all these years

The author deserves his reputation as a great historian. One reason is that this book has held up so well despite the passage of many decades since it was written.

A classic that holds up.

Hofstadter’s classic account of the transformation from nineteenth to twentieth century reform movements is almost as useful a reflection on the period as it was back in 1955.
