Offers a new interpretation of the transformation of Anglo-American intellectual and aesthetic culture since 1890. Richard Nelson shows that southern intellectuals confronted head on the tensions Machiavelli observed between power and value, creativity and tradition, and romanticism and realism while seeking a cultural ideal that balances politics and aesthetics.
