This work is a landmark in American political thought. Preeminent Richard Hofstadter examines the passion for progress and reform that colored the entire period from 1890 to 1940 with startling and stimulating results.

The Age of Reform searches out the moral and emotional motives of the reformers, the myths and dreams in which they believed, and the realities with which they had to compromise.

Hofstadter’s classic account of the transformation from nineteenth to twentieth century reform movements is almost as useful a reflection on the period as it was back in 1955.

A classic that holds up.
