"The Lonely Crowd . . . remains not only the best-selling book by a
professional sociologist in American history, but arguably one that
has had the widest influence on the nation at large."-Orlando
Patterson, New York Times Considered by many to be one of the most
influential books of the twentieth century, The Lonely Crowd opened
exciting new dimensions in our understanding of the problems
confronting the individual in twentieth-century America. Richard
Sennett's new introduction illuminates the ways in which Riesman's
analysis of a middle class obsessed with how others lived still
resonates in the age of social media. "Indispensable reading for
anyone who wishes to understand American society. After half a
century, this book has lost none of its capacity to make sense of
how we live."-Todd Gitlin "One of the most important books of the
twentieth century."-Gideon Lewis-Kraus, New Yorker "Brilliant and
original."-Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. "The Lonely Crowd remains at
least as instructive now as it was in 1950, all the more so as the
reality it perceived closes in on us."-Jonathan Yardley, New
Republic
