Rediscoveries is a collection of essays on 19th-century European political thinkers, whose ideas--despite their originality--are seldom remembered in the popular history of political thought. The newly "rediscovered" figures include Carlyle, Gobineau, Burckhardt, Masqueray, Kropotkin, P guy, Sorel, Ostrogorski, Kautsky, Hal vy and Ferrero.
