The moral imagination : from Edmund Burke to Lionel Trilling

"Gertrude Himmelfarb here explores the minds and lives of some of the most brilliant and provocative thinkers of modern times. Behind the drama of ideas that played itself out in the lives and writings of these individuals was the free play of the moral imagination. From her own long engagement with these subjects, Ms. Himmelfarb describes how these thinkers, coming from different traditions, responding to different concerns, writing in different genres, shared a moral passion that permeated their work. And it is the liveliness of their imagination that makes their reflections - on politics and literature, religion and society, marriage and sex - sometimes unpredictable, often controversial, always exciting, and as illuminating and pertinent today as they were then."--Jacket.
