V-2nd, Chap 7

[alice wellintown]

We forgot to mention _Cambridge Companion to 19th Cent. American
Women's Writing_ where Arthur M. Schlesinger, who, like Benny, was a
"Catholic Jew" and who wrote a great deal on Jacksonian Democracy and
what Melville called "the Kingly Commons" and on anti-Catholicism in
America, is the figure the authors of the Introduction and Editors,
Gould and Bauer allude to ("The Vital Center"), as they define the
cultural shifts after the second great war and the reflection of these
in American Literature. Also worth reading on this head is Giddens's
Introduction to Weber's PESC, not to mention what has been mentioned
before, but worth mentioning in this thread, De Rougemont's Love in
the Western World.
