Winner of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Non-Fiction.
In this award-winning classic work of consensus history, Richard Hofstadter, author of The Age of Reform, examines the role of social movements in the perception of intellect in American life.
This book throws light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society.
“As Mr. Hofstadter unfolds the fascinating story, it is no crude battle of eggheads and fatheads. It is a rich, complex, shifting picture of the life of the mind in a society dominated by the ideal of practical success.”
A critic wrote —I had no reason to think that the book wasn’t written only a few years ago - everything he said is still being said today, right down to the idioms. Then, after it was over, I hear, “The original book copyrighted 1962”.
Fifty-five years ago! Nothing had changed! All the same Left/Right catcalling… and the book even has sharper insights and better turns of phrases than I’ve seen of late (“where the youth issue forth from academia with pitchforks and cynicism to destroy civilization”).

As an Enlightenment project, America has deeply intellectual origins. If that helps.
