Isabel Paterson is widely recognized as an advocate of radical
individualism and a prophet of the libertarian movement. She
influenced a wide variety of libertarian and conservative writers
and public figures, from Ayn Rand to William F. Buckley, Jr. In her
own time, Paterson was noted as a literary critic and novelist, and
one of the wittiest writers in America. She is best known for The
God of the Machine, also published by Transaction. Culture and
Liberty includes many of Paterson's works that are out of print or
have never before been published. Stephen Cox collected Paterson's
words on themes she favored, illustrating leading features of her
accomplishments and her views. Paterson's way of combining
individualist ideas with provocative writing made people look
forward to her next pronouncement on American culture. Her fame
while she lived and worked and the continuing interest in her ideas
and writing are monuments to a complex but strongly unified
personality. Paterson remains one of the most distinctive voices in
American literary history-as this selection of her writings will
indicate. This book is a must read for English majors, literary
critics, humanities scholars, and students of American culture.
