The Idea of a University
Since its publication almost 150 years ago, The Idea of a University has had an extraordinary influence on the shaping and goals of higher education. The issues that John Henry Newman raised the place of religion and moral values in the university setting, the competing claims of liberal and professional education, the character of the academic community, the cultural role of literature, the relation of religion and science have provoked discussi…
Reflections on the Revolution in France
The most enduring work of its time, Reflections on the Revolution in France was written in 1790 and has remained in print ever since. Edmund Burke’s analysis of revolutionary change established him as the chief framer of modern European conservative political thought. This outstanding new edition of the Reflections presents Burke’s famous text along with a historical introduction by Frank M. Turner and four lively critical essays by leading schol…
European Intellectual History from Rousseau to Nietzsche
One of the most distinguished cultural and intellectual historians of our time, Frank Turner taught a landmark Yale University lecture course on European intellectual history that drew scores of students over many years. His lectures—lucid, accessible, beautifully written, and delivered with a notable lack of jargon—distilled modern European history from the Enlightenment to the dawn of the twentieth century and conveyed the turbulence of a rapid…

Alexis de Tocqueville and John Stuart Mill on Religion
Alexis De Tocqueville and John Stuart Mill were friends, correspondents, and mutual admirers of each other's writings. Tocqueville considered Mill's reviews as among the most sympathetic and empathetic that he received. Mill acknowledged Tocqueville's influence on his thought regarding both democracy and majorities. Both writers, like so many nineteenth-century intellectuals, were deeply involved in the public life of their respective nations. Bo…

The Homeric Question
Homer and Homeric composition have been discussed, probed, and criticized since ancient times. The Homeric Question, however, is a distinctly nineteenth-century invention, created by the philological enterprise, the romantic concepts of composition, and the historicism of the age. The Question was, however, in fact a series of questions about the composition of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Homeric criticism constituted an arena in which academic ph…

Victorian scientific naturalism and Thomas Carlyle
During the second half of the nineteenth century the spokesmen for scientific naturalism constituted one of the most vocal and visible groups on the Victorian intellectual landscape. Combining research, polemic wit, and literary eloquence, they defended and propagated a scientific world view based on atomism, conservation of energy, and evolution. They raised the banner of the functional expertise of the scientifically educated against the resist…

British Politics and the Demise of the Roman Republic
During the past quarter century scholars from several disciplines have established the central metaphorical function of the demise of the ancient Roman Republic for both literary and political discourse in eighteenth century Britain. But the reverse side of that inquiry – the impact of the analogy between Britain and Rome on the modern historical interpretation of the ancient republic – has received virtually no attention. This oversight has conc…

The anonymous essay, entitled “The ‘Prayer for the Sick’ — Hints Towards a Serious Attempt to Estimate Its Value,” challenged the Christians of the nation to conduct an experiment to determine the physical efficacy of prayer. A letter from the physicist John Tyndall, controversial professor at the Royal Institu…
