Tocqueville, Democracy and Social Reform (Hardcover, 2003 ed.)

Alexis de Tocqueville is best known as the author of Democracy in America and The Ancien Régime and the Revolution. Yet among his contemporaries he was also esteemed for his brilliant investigations on social issues such as prison reform, pauperism and the plight of abandoned children. This study explores the intellectual and social context of these neglected yet startlingly innovative writings and it reveals how they proved central to the composition of those works for which Tocqueville is best known.
