It has been over 60 years since David Riesman's most famous work
The Lonely Crowd brought him international acclaim. While this
remains a best-selling sociology book, Riesman's expertise and
publications spanned far beyond the treatment of the American
social character type offered there. This volume recasts and
reintroduces Riesman by presenting newly discovered and unpublished
manuscripts of his work, including excerpts from a previously
unpublished critical biography of Freud that Riesman began with
this assistant at the time, Philip Rieff, an interview in which
Riesman describes in detail his early biography and his route into
the social sciences, and other research notes and memoranda. With
additional chapters analyzing the unpublished works, as well as
discussions of Riesman as a public intellectual, his
multi-disciplinary method of understanding society and his
connections with figures such as Goffman and Fromm, this book will
appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory and the history of
American social science.
