Reviews

No Things but in Ideas shows us the reasons why US intellectual history has enjoyed such a revival in the last few years. Its contributors make clear why ideas are so important and how they are both grounded in, and enable us to reflect upon, our historical experience. Overall, this lively collection offers shrewd analyses of the rich variety of intellectual life in America, past and present. It should be a necessary work for the fields of History, English and Philosophy. -- Richard H. King, American and Canadian Studies, University of Nottingham, and author of <I>Arendt and America</I>

In American Labyrinth, the ever combative and often funny James Livingston presents a tour-de-force biographical meditation. American Labyrinth, ultimately, is about refusing to see ideas as just a one-way discourse. * Society for US Intellectual History * American labyrinth contains a stimulating and useful collection of essays by historians reflecting on American intellectual history.... As a whole, the book convinces the reader that the field of intellectual history is enjoying a renaissance. The book will be especially prized by intellectual historians, but historians of many different persuasions will find these essays rewarding too. * Choice *
