Democracy in America New Edition, English Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville and Gustave de Beaumont spent nine months in the U.S. studying American prisons on behalf of the French government. They investigated not just the prison system but indeed every aspect of American public and private life―the political, economic, religious, cultural, and above all the social life of the young nation. From Tocqueville’s copious notes came Democracy in America.
This English-only edition of Democracy in America features Eduardo Nolla’s incisive notes to James Schleifer’s English translation of the French text, with extensive reference to early outlines, drafts, manuscript variants, marginalia, unpublished fragments, and other materials: “This new Democracy is not only the one that Tocqueville presented to the reader of 1835, then to the reader of 1840. . . the reader will see how Tocqueville proceeded with the elaboration of the main ideas of this book.”
Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859) was a French writer and politician.
Eduardo Nolla is a Professor at the Universidad San Pablo-CEU, Madrid.
James T. Schleifer is emeritus Dean of the Library and Professor of History at the College of New Rochelle and has been a visiting lecturer at Yale University.

I don't speak or read French, so I can't comment on the translation, and in fact, I found the Mayer edition a little easier to read. If there was something I was unsure about I went to that text. A word of caution though, because the footnotes are so extensive, I found myself reading the footnotes and losing track of what Tocqueville was originally talking about. I had to go back and reread what he originally wrote. Because of this it might not be the best one for a Tocqueville rookie, but if you are looking for the best edition this is it! The editor of this edition should be commended, I can't even imagine how much time and energy went into producing this book - well done!
