Snyder, Brad
Democratic Justice: Felix Frankfurter the Supreme Court and the Making of the Liberal Establishment
NY: W. W. Norton. As New in As New dust jacket. 2022. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 1324004878 . The conventional wisdom about Felix Frankfurter Harvard law professor and Supreme Court justice is that he struggled to fill the seat once held by Oliver Wendell Holmes. A pro-government pro-civil rights liberal who rejected shifting political labels Frankfurter advocated for judicial restraint he believed that people should seek change not from the courts but through the democratic political process. Indeed he knew American presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyndon Johnson advised Franklin Roosevelt and inspired his students and law clerks to enter government service. Organized around presidential administrations and major political and world events this definitive biography chronicles Frankfurter's impact on American life. As a young government lawyer he befriended Theodore Roosevelt Louis Brandeis and Oliver Wendel Holmes. As a Harvard law professor he earned fame as a civil libertarian Zionist and New Deal power broker. As a justice he hired the first African American law clerk and helped the Court achieve unanimity in outlawing racially segregated schools in Brown v. Board of Education. In this sweeping narrative Brad Snyder offers a full and fascinating portrait of the remarkable life and legacy of a long misunderstood American figure. It is the story of a man devoted to democratic ideals a natural orator and often overbearing justice whose passion allowed him to amass highly influential friends and helped create the liberal establishment. Both the volume and the unclipped $45.00 dust jacket are in perfect pristine condition; unread unmarked tight square and clean. AS NEW/AS NEW. Photographs. Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. 979 pp . W. W.

This is another paragraph Book Description: Penelope Fitzgerald 1916-2000 was a great English writer who would never have described herself in such grand terms. Her novels were short spare masterpieces self-concealing oblique and subtle. She won the Booker Prize for her novel Offshore in 1979 and her last work The Blue Flower was acclaimed as a work of genius. The early novels drew on her own experiences - a boat on the Thames in the 1960s; the BBC in war time; a failing bookshop in Suffolk; an eccentric stage-school. The later ones opened out to encompass historical worlds which magically she seemed to possess entirely: Russia before the Revolution; post-war Italy; Germany in the time of the Romantic writer Novalis. Fitzgerald's life is as various and as cryptic as her fiction. It spans most of the twentieth century and moves from a Bishop's Palace to a sinking barge from a demanding intellectual family to hardship and poverty from a life of teaching and obscurity to a blaze of renown. She was first published at sixty and became famous at eighty. This is a story of lateness patience and persistence: a private form of heroism. Loved and admired and increasingly recognised as one of the outstanding novelists of her time she remains also mysterious and intriguing. She liked to mislead people with a good imitation of an absent-minded old lady but under that scatty front were a steel-sharp brain and an imagination of wonderful reach. This brilliant account - by a biographer whom Fitzgerald herself admired - pursues her life her writing and her secret self with fascinated interest. Chatto and Windus hardcover
