Lionel Trilling and his discontents.
By Louis Menand

The paragraph below appears in the NYRB reprint of Trilling's _TLI_
with Introduction by Louis Menand.

“The Liberal Imagination” was a Cold War book. It appeared at the same
political moment as Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.,’s “The Vital Center”
(1949), George Orwell’s “1984” (1949), and Richard Crossman’s “The God
That Failed” (1950)—books that helped make the case for liberal
anti-Communism. Trilling was certainly a liberal anti-Communist.
Orwell was one of his heroes: he reviewed “1984” in The New Yorker,
and called the book “momentous.” And he was prominently associated
with Partisan Review, which had been the journalistic home of the
anti-Communist left since 1937. Five of the sixteen essays in “The
Liberal Imagination” first appeared in Partisan Review; a sixth is
about Partisan Review. (The book is being reprinted this fall by New
York Review Books.)
