Description
Explore the tradition of the political essay with this anthology. David Bromwich presents twenty-seven essays by different writers from the seventeenth century to recent times, grappling with issues that continue to shape history.
These essays tackle topics such as revolution and war, racism, women's rights, the status of the worker, citizenship, imperialism, violence and nonviolence, among others. They are also notable for their demonstration of the power of written English to reshape our thoughts and the world.
A wide-ranging introduction sets the stage for this collection of essays by writers including 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.
