Trade Review
Turner's treatment of the nineteenth century is excellent and often brilliantly perceptive. -- Robert Nisbet The New York Times Book Review A crafted, intelligent book. The prose is remarkably clear, as is the argument. Turner offers us intellectual history in something like the grand manner. -- David D. Hall Reviews in American History
