Timothy Verhoeven on secularists
Timothy Verhoeven’s new book is as thoughtful, thorough and accomplished as his first. Based on exhaustive archival research of American petition campaigns, it tells an intriguing story of two dist
Between friendship and justice
Reading Aristotle and applying his notion of philia, or political friendship, across 26 centuries sheds significant light into Abraham Lincoln’s career. It is precisely in Lincoln’s embodiment of the Aristotelian notion of friendship that we come to understand his unique greatness. Perhaps he alone of all Americans proved capable of such extraordinary feats as leading the Republican party to victory in 1860, holding the Union together through the…
Abe Lincoln in the Age of Obama and Spielberg
Writing of Abe Lincoln after the Civil War, Frederick Douglass foreshadowed a natural divergence when evaluating the 16th president. ‘Viewed from the genuine abolitionist ground’, observed Douglass, ‘Mr. Lincoln seemed tardy, cold, dull and indifferent; but measuring him by the sentiment of his country ... he was swift, zealous, radical, and determined’. Douglass himself concluded that ‘Great Emancipator’ had largely failed to imagine anything ap…
Obi B. Egbuna, C. L. R. James and the Birth of Black Power in Britain
This article considers the emergence of black power as an ideology and a movement in the UK in the period 1967–72. It argues that two different interpretations of black power appeared immediately after Stokely Carmichael’s appearance at the Dialectics of Liberation conference in London during the summer of 1967. The first, embodied in Obi B. Egbuna’s manifesto for the United Coloured People’s Association, was broadly Marxist–Leninist and separati…
Abraham Lincoln and the First-Person Plural
The 2009 bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth brought forth an outpouring of fresh studies of the man and his times. The new scholarship largely affirmed the longstanding consensus about the sixteenth president and his greatness. His was an almost superhuman achievement in holding the Union together, emancipating the slaves, and ultimately leading the North to victory. This study offers a novel evaluation of one key element of Lincoln's leader…

The strange career of Emerson and race
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the nineteenth century's greatest American liberal thinker, was, along with Frederick Douglass, the most important intellectual to engage the race issue. Friend of John Brown, collaborator with Garrison and Phillips, peripheral participant in the Underground Railroad, Emerson nevertheless remained conflicted about many issues relating to race and the character of the American nation. This essay seeks to explain the trajectory…
The Transformation of Genius into Practical Power
The relationship between American intellectuals and the democratic culture that constitutes their milieu has long been a tenuous one. Historians and literary critics have often characterized this association as a class and a culture conflict. Harvard philosopher George Santayana went so far as to claim that the genuine American intellectual, alienated from bourgeois society, possessed what he called a sacred rage, elemental disgust with her or hi…

The Crisis of the Standing Order
The Crisis of the Standing Order
This book examines the demise of one Massachusetts intellectual elite, the Congregational Standing Order, and the rise of another, the Boston Brahmins, during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Peter S. Field traces the division within the culturally dominant class to the emergence of a new group of wealthy urban merchatns, who funded Brahmin efforts to create America's first secular high culture. With the founding of the Monthly…

The Birth of Secular High Culture
In the aftermath of the American Revolution the Congregational clergy of Massachusetts underwent a significant transformation. No longer boasting clerics as prominent as its illustrious predecessors, the clergy faced an increasing array of pressures. The War of Independence and the creation of the Constitution had thrown up a rising class of lawyers and politicians that threatened the ministry's cultural supremacy. Likewise, the emergence of comp…
