Democracy in America is nol a classic text-at least if one accepts Mark Twain's definition of a classic as a book everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read. By that measure Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding might be a classic, or perhaps Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit or James's Principles of Psychology. But by Twain's standard Democracy in America emphatically is not a classic, because it is a book that people continue to read and reread, a book that continues to engage readers and repay their efforts, a book cited and endorsed by both Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton at their parlies' National Conventions in the summer of 1996
