| Summary: | "This book examines the origin, elements, and evolving signifigance of the "tides of national politics" in the discourse of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. The study investigates how the "tides" concept has functioned in both Schlesinger's historical scholarship and his partisan political discourse. Depoe also explores the ways in which the "tides" concept has shaped and channeled Schlesinger's political thought over time, leading him toward certain definitions of situations and away from others. Finally, Depoe offers Schlesinger's life and work as a case study of the highs and lows of postwar American liberalism. By tracing Schlesinger's responses to Eisenhower-era conservatism, Kennedy's New Frontier, the problems of Vietnam and violence during the 1960s, and the gradual delegitimation of liberalism from the 1970s to the present, this book offers a road map that can guide the reader toward a better understanding of the past, present, and future of liberalism in America."--Cover |
