This book argues that political democracy has not fulfilled its promise and that we should therefore re-examine literature¿s long conservative hostility to it. It offers new accounts of the ethos of refusing political democracy, as well as innovative readings of writers including Tocqueville, Disraeli, George Eliot, E.M. Forster and Saul Bellow.
