Gertrude Himmelfarb's elegant and wonderfully readable work, The
Roads to Modernity, reclaims the Enlightenment from historians who
have downgraded its importance and from scholars who have given
preeminence to the Enlightenment in France over concurrent
movements in England and in America. Himmerlfarb demonstrates the
primacy and wisdom of the British, exemplified in such thinkers as
Adam Smith, David Hume, and Edmund Burke, as well as the unique and
enduring contributions of the American Founders. It is their
Enlightenments, she argues, that created a social ethic - humane,
compassionate and realistic - that still resonates strongly today.
