President Theodore Roosevelt had a passion for reading books, and
he did not keep this passion to himself. He often wrote about his
experiences as a reader and collector of books. He wrote scholarly
essays about literature and literary history. He often wrote book
reviews for such publications as The Atlantic Monthly, The Bookman,
The Outlook, and The New York Times Review of Books. Roosevelt’s
writings about books are worth reading for their own sake, for in
these pieces he provided critical insights into influential books.
His writings about books, however, are also important because they
show how Roosevelt responded to the books that he read.
Roosevelt’s reading influenced his thinking on the many topics
that interested him, so these writings provide researchers with a
better understanding of the role that books played in the formation
of his ideas, attitudes, and political positions. Theodore
Roosevelt on Books and Reading brings together for the first time
Roosevelt’s writings about his experiences as a reader, his
scholarly essays about literature and literary history, and his
exuberant reviews of some of the books that he especially liked. A
sister volume to Mark I. West’s Theodore Roosevelt and His
Library at Sagamore Hill, this new volume features Roosevelt’s
own responses to many of the books in his personal library. All of
the selections in this volume reflect Roosevelt’s passion for
reading. These selections will resonate with anyone who shares
Roosevelt’s love of books.
