Not only is it a splendid exploration of several aspects of early modernism in their political context; it is an indicator of how the discipline of intellectual history is currently practiced by its most able and ambitious craftsmen. It is also a moving vindication of historical study itself, in the face of modernism's defiant suggestion that history is obsolete.
Each of [the seven separate studies] can be read separately....Yet they are so artfully designed and integrated that one who reads them in order is impressed by the book's wholeness and the momentum of its argument.
-- Gordon A. Craig, The New Republic
A profound work...on one of the most important chapters of modern intellectual history -- H.R. Trevor-Roper, front page, The New York Times Book Review
Invaluable to the social and political historian...as well as to those more concerned with the arts -- John Willett, The New York Review of Books
A work of original synthesis and scholarship. Engrossing.
-- Newsweek
