Title: Orestes Brownson
Description: "Orestes Brownson is a new study of a major nineteenth-century intellectual whose work spanned a critical period of American and European history. R. A. Herrera delineates the "advancements" (to use Brownson's own term) in Brownson's thought about God, man, and the nature of the American Republic, making this volume a unique primer on the man and his contributions to American life and letters."--BOOK JACKET.

"The subjects explored - feminism, race, immigration, church and state, and national unity - remain topical in our own time. Brownson argued that the American republic's unique charter was to reconcile liberty with law and thus set an example for the world. This volume is made especially timely by the ongoing revival of his thought in American political discourse."--BOOK JACKET.
