The broad canvas covered by the articles in the present volume
celebrates the diversity and richness of the writings of Frank
Manuel during a scholarly career that spans over five decades. The
subjects of the articles - ranging from science to utopia, from
theology to political thought - mirror many of the themes Manuel
has written about with erudition, flair and uncommon perception. It
is only fitting that in paying tribute to such a defiant intellect
each author brings to his treatment a distinct perspective and
texture, the result of his own original forays into the history of
ideas. Yet underlying all the essays is the conviction that the
study of the intersection of individuals and ideas still yields a
rich harvest. Presented to Frank on the occasion of his eightieth
birthday, In the Presence o/the Past honors a teacher, a friend
and, above all, a scholar. R. T. Bienvenu and M. Feingold (eds). ln
the presence of the past. vii. MARTIN PERETZ Frank Manuel: An
Appreciation It was finally because of Frank Edward Manuel that I
decided (however belatedly) to forgo a proper academic career.
Since I had not left so much as a leafscar on the tree of the
scholarly culture this is not a fact which anyone else would have
reason to notice. It is also not, I am happy to add, something for
which Manuel will be especially remembered.
