Editorial Reviews

Review

Times Literary Supplement
October 8, 2010

The bilingual Liberty Fund edition of Democracy in America, edited by Eduardo Nolla and translated by James T. Schleifer, provides an unprecedented insight into how Tocqueville's text was written and how its content evolved over time . . . . The great merit of the Liberty Fund edition is that it enables us, for the first time, to gauge the immensity of that undertaking . . . . What makes this edition of Democracy in America not only a new edition but also, as the editor remarks, a different edition is that the extraordinary complexity of the writing of Tocqueville's text is here made clearly visible to the reader. . . . Eduardo Nolla's new edition of Democracy in America, therefore, represents a landmark in Tocqueville scholarship and surpasses all editions previously published. The text is elegantly and faultlessly tranlasted by James Schleifer. The four volumes, with the French and English versions on facing pages, are produced to the highest quality and contain an excellently chosen set of illustrations.

    Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville (French: [alɛksi ʃaʁl ɑ̃ʁi kleʁɛl də tɔkvil]; 29 July 1805 – 16 April 1859) was a French political thinker and historian best known for his works Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both of these, he analyzed the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals, as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States, and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.

    Tocqueville was active in French politics, first under the July Monarchy (1830–48) and then during the Second Republic (1849–51) which succeeded the February 1848 Revolution. He retired from political life after Louis Napoléon Bonaparte's 2 December 1851 coup, and thereafter began work on The Old Regime and the Revolution.

    He argued that the importance of the French Revolution was to continue the process of modernizing and centralizing the French state which had begun under King Louis XIV. The failure of the Revolution came from the inexperience of the deputies who were too wedded to abstract Enlightenment ideals. Tocqueville was a classical liberal who advocated parliamentary government, but was skeptical of the extremes of democracy.
