      Jeet Heer Retweeted Library of America

      1. This is a good enriching discussion from smart people (Foner, Hochschild, Katznelson, Wilentz) about Richard Hofstadter, but....https://twitter.com/LibraryAmerica/status/1316378082450829315 …

      Last night's complete webinar featuring historians Eric Foner, Arlie Hochschild, Ira Katznelson, and Sean Wilentz on the legacy of Richard Hofstadter is now available via our @YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/zRLdLVfresI

      2. but...at 53 minutes in Wilentz says that even though the Library of America anthology contains 5 essays on Barry Goldwater & more on similar themes, it is not repetitive. As someone who read the book, I can confidently state that this false. The book is very repetitive!

      3. I documented this in my Nation review but the same sentences keep popping up in the book over & over again. Because Wilentz selected a narrow range of essays rather than give the full scope of Hofstadter's interests.pic.twitter.com/isSUVD79gY

      4. In many other ways, Wilentz' book fails to meet the high scholarly standards one expects from the LOA. The "Prefatory Note" to Anti-Intellectualism is missing! Source citations to essays are missing. All very odd given Wilentz' haughtiness about other scholars.

      5. Anyways, the new broadcast confirms my surmise that the book was edited in part with a view towards Trump being president. I think this was a mistake, since Hofstadter, although a great historian, misunderstood the revanchist right.

      6. The good news from the broadcast is that the LOA will do more volumes with other Hofstadter books. I can only hope that if Sean Wilentz is involved they provide him with an assistant who can check his poor editorial habits.

      Replying to @HeerJeet

      If they're going to publish twentieth-century historical writers, I wonder if they're going to do Perry Miller, who certainly deserves it as much as Hofstadter.

      Yes, that would be a good choice. I was also thinking of CLR James, in his American years.
