Orestes Brownson is a new study of a major American intellectual whose work spanned a critical period of American and European history and remains topical (feminism, race, immigration, church and state, national unity, etc.) in our own age. Indeed, the questions raised by Brownson in the nineteenth century still confront us. Brownson argued that the American Republic's unique charter is to reconcile liberty with law-and in so doing to set an example to the world. His thought is reentering American political discourse, making this a timely volume.
What They're Saying...
"R.A. Herrera's Orestes Brownson is an admirably incisive and dispassionate portrait of one of America's most interesting and eccentric thinkers."
— Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
