Alexis de Tocqueville s Democracy in America has been recognized as
an indispensable starting point for understanding American
politics. From the publication of the second volume in 1840 until
his death in 1859, Tocqueville continued to monitor political
developments in America and committed many of his thoughts to paper
in letters to his friends in America. He also made frequent
references to America in many articles and speeches. Did
Tocqueville change his views on America outlined in the two volumes
of Democracy in America published in 1835 and 1840? If so, which of
his views changed and why? The texts translated in Tocqueville on
America after 1840: Letters and Other Writings answer these
questions and offer English-speaking readers the possibility of
familiarizing themselves with this unduly neglected part of
Tocqueville s work. The book points out a clear shift in emphasis
especially after 1852 and documents Tocqueville s growing
disenchantment with America, triggered by such issues as political
corruption, slavery, expansionism, and the encroachment of the
economic sphere upon the political.
