Reviews

'The volume ... provides an excellent road map to a rich vein of political theorizing, and performs well its task of showing how an understanding of liberalism is seriously deficient without a knowledge of the new liberals.' Contemporary Political Theory '... successfully challenges received views and asks for a comprehensive retrieval of the unfairly neglected resources of liberal thought'. Political Studies Review
