Présentation de l'éditeur

This intellectual biography assesses the life and legacy of Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998), one of the few historians who successfully bridged the two worlds of scholarship and public intellectual activity. Commager's story reaffirms the importance of midcentury liberalism and challenges scholars to become publicly engaged.
