Beskrivning
New York Intellect is Thomas Bender's remarkable look at the connections between the life of a city and the life of the mind. New York has never been comfortable or convenient as a milieu for art and intellect, Bender notes. Yet New Yorkers have always struggled to create institutions and styles of thought and writing that reflect the special character of the city, its boundless energies and deep divisions.

Recensioner i media

Remarkable history-superb in research, insight, and interpretation... The book is full of fascinations. New Yorker A model of cultural history... [Bender] makes his case for New York with the conviction that he knows what is genuinely distinctive and valuable in the life of a great city and that his view of the matter is not only true to the reality of its history but important to those who hold democratic ideals.
