Public Moralists by Collini

Public Moralists by Collini

This imaginative and unusual book analyses the moral sensibilities and assumptions that were at the heart of political debate in Victorian and early twentieth-century Britain, focusing on the role as public moralists of intellectuals from John Stuart Mill and Matthew Arnold to J. M. Keynes and F. R. Leavis.

Stefan Collini is a sophisticated, witty and thoughtful historian of ideas.. Collini is a fertile and gifted author ... His book on Matthew Arnold ... is a marvel of a compression and trenchant good sense ... [Public Moralists is] a superior book ... sets the mind spinning. * Sheldon Rothblatt, The Higher *

Stefan Collini is the author of Arnold (OUP, 1988; pbk 1988) and has written widely on nineteenth-century intellectual history
