Variations on an American theme by Alexis de Tocqueville, Washington Allston, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, William James, Louis H. Sullivan, Charles Ives, Vachel Lindsay, Maxwell E. Perkins, W. H. Auden, John F. Kennedy, and George F. Kennan. This small volume indicates the continuity of Òour national diseaseÓ today, especially as it infects cultural values and the arts. Acutely aware of the failures of American society, the authors defend personal sensibility against destructive forces, conformist and non-conformist.
