Two Cheers For Democracy
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark collection of essays from one of England's most celebrated literary minds, Two Cheers for Democracy gathers E. M. Forster's most incisive writings on art, society, and the fragile promise of liberal democracy. Written across several decades and first published in 1951, the collection argues passionately — yet with characteristic restraint — that democracy deserves two cheers rather than three: one for admitting variety, and one for permitting criticism. Forster addresses the great tensions of the twentieth century — totalitarianism, censorship, the role of the artist in a troubled world — with a prose style that is elegant, witty, and unflinchingly honest. The book stands as an enduring testament to the humanist belief that personal relationships and individual integrity remain the bedrock of any civilised society.
