Summary
When it was first published last year, Harvey Mansfield and Delba Winthrop's new translation ofDemocracy in Americawas lauded in all quarters as the finest and most definitive edition of Tocqueville's classic thus farcomplete with the most faithful and readable translation to date, impeccable annotations of unfamiliar references, and a masterful introduction placing the work and its author in the broader contexts of political philosophy and statesmanship. Mansfield and Winthrop's astonishing efforts have not only captured the elegance, subtlety, and profundity of Tocqueville's original, but also give us some sense of how very essential this masterpiece continues to be.
