      The Library of America is reissuing a collection of Hofstadter’s classic essays, including his Anti-Intellectualism and Paranoid Style, in their usually gorgeous format. Edited by no one less than Sean Wilentz.pic.twitter.com/53jtln5Xzt

      Anti-intellectualism is a longish book (and his best, imo.)

      Indeed, shouldn’t have grouped them together. But it’s not his best... Age of Reform or Idea of a Party System are better.

      Yeah, Idea of Party System is a really important book on just that, often forgotten. Age of Reform is...complicated. Actually Am Pol Tradition is an amazing performance—linked essays that create an historiographical narrative.

      Replying to @yeselson

      I think most of the empirics in Age of Reform are spectacularly wrong, but there are some deep analytical insights buried in that book that are worth retaining. Am Pol Tradition feels too much like a "they're all the same" exposé.

      Anti-Intellectualism is patronizing and often ignorant on religion I adore his prose and sensibility about the past but Progressive Historians is his most persuasive book

      It's also where he comes to terms with some of his blindspots--though American Political Tradition is my favorite, in part, because the residues of a radical past are all over the book, including essay on Wendell Phillip's abolitionism and then later socialism and labor militancy

      I should probably save my thunder for the review I'm writing but, long story short, Hofstadter was a supremely gifted stylist but used his gifts in largely pernicious ways: he's the creator of centrist mindset that has closed off political possibilities.

      But was he a centrist? I have always read him as a leftist.

      He was a leftist when young but increasingly conservative from late 1940s onwards.

          He was a dispassionate liberal from then on -- seduced by Adlai's fatal charm but otherwise enthusiastic for no major pol. Brown's bio, as I recall, made this clear. He tolerated the New Left but wished we hadn't attacked the university.
