Since Tenured Radicals first appeared in 1990, it has achieved a
stature as the leading critique of the ways in which the humanities
are now taught and studied at American universities. Trenchant and
witty, it lays bare the sham of what now passes for serious
academic pursuit in too many circles. In this new edition,
completely reset, Roger Kimball has brought the text up to date and
has added a new Introduction. Those who have never read Tenured
Radicals are in for a treat; others may find a second reading worth
their while. "Mr. Kimball names his enemies precisely.... This book
will breed fistfights."-Roger Rosenblatt, New York Times Book
Review. "All persons serious about education should see it."-Allan
Bloom, author of The Closing of the American Mind. "Tenured
Radicals is a withering critique."-Jonathan Yardley, Washington
Post Book World. "A bravado performance of critical journalism...a
vivid, up-to-the-minute account, alternately amusing and dismaying,
of the takeover of the academy by ideology."-Robert Alter, Newsday.
"A stinging account.... The commonsense approach of Tenured
Radicals provokes constant reflections and occasional laughter at
the squirming victims."-Roger Shattuck, author of The Banquet
Years.
