Table of ContentsReviewsBy an extraordinary feat of scholarship and interpretation, Ed Folsom's new edition of Democratic Vistas presents this difficult work, troubled yet ecstatic, as something of great significance to our own times. With its historical notes and annotated bibliography and the important new scholarship in the introduction, this edition offers both context and tools for analytical interpretation.
