Explore the tradition of the political essay with this brilliant anthology. David Bromwich is one of the most well-informed, cogent, and morally uncompromising political writers on the left today. He is also one of our finest intellectual historians and literary critics. In Writing Politics, Bromwich presents twenty-seven essays by different writers from the beginning of the modern political world in the seventeenth century until recent times, essays that grapple with issues that continue to shape history—revolution and war, racism, women’s rights, the status of the worker, the nature of citizenship, imperialism, violence and nonviolence, among them—and essays that have also been chosen as superlative examples of the power of written English to reshape our thoughts and the world. Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Henry David Thoreau, Harriet Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, George Eliot, W. E. B. Du Bois, Mohandas Gandhi, Virginia Woolf, Martin Luther King, and Hannah Arendt are here, among others, along with a wide-ranging introduction.

Today's critic is beginning to seem almost as essential to the development -- indeed, the identification -- of art as the artist himself. The purpose of this volume is to bring together some of the best recent critical essays on the new art in the United States. Most of these articles date from after 1960, and were originally published in periodicals and museum catalogues. But in keeping with the new role of the critic as interpreter, the pieces included in this anthology do more than simply describe, or even define their subject; their authors are actively and consciously engaged in the preparation of a new aesthetic. This is a unique collection that will be indispensable to all who wish to understand more about the new art in America.
