Tocqueville was an aristocrat living in an age of aristocratic decline, which he deplored.
Yet historians have little positive to say about Tocqueville’s Memoir on Pauperism, a 36-page pamphlet published in 1835. We welcome manuscripts on the history of political thought, analytical political theory, canonical political thought, contemporary political thought, comparative political thought, critical theory, or literature and political thought. Tocquevilles Memoir on Pauperism was written between his two large books, and followed a visit to England which provided him with evidence for the paper to the Royal Academic Society of Cherbourg in 1835. It turns out that Alexis de Tocqueville, the famous French author of Democracy in America, probably understood England’s poor laws better than the English did. The Review of Politics publishes high quality original research that advances scholarly debates in all areas of political theory.
