Christopher Lasch: Critic of Liberalism, Historian of Its Discontents

I would like to announce the publication of my essay, “Christopher Lasch: Critic of Liberalism, Historian of Its Discontents,” in the journal Rethinking History — in a special dedicated to the topic of “Politics and History.” The reason for announcing this here is that this essay is literally the product of the U.S. Intellectual History blog and conference. When the Call for Papers was first issued, I threw out some ideas for a paper here, and then again here. I then presented a version of this paper at the first U.S. Intellectual History Conference in Grand Rapids last year, where Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen and others gave me great feedback. Thanks to all. AH

S-USIH Comment Policy

We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.

  1. Congrats! My favorite way to conceptualize a blog’s usefulness is as an article laboratory. You never know where a little blog post will take you. – TL
