It has been over 60 years since David Riesmana (TM)s most famous work The Lonely Crowd brought him international acclaim. While this remains a best-selling sociology book, Riesmana (TM)s expertise and publications spanned far beyond the treatment of the American social character type offered there, This volume recasts and reintroduces Riesman by presenting newly discovered and unpublished manuscripts of his work, including excerpts from a previously unpublished critical biography of Freud that Riesman began with this assistant at the time, Philip Rieff, an interview in which Riesman describes in detail his early biography and his route into the social sciences, and other research notes and memoranda. With additional chapters analysing the unpublished works, as well as discussions of Riesman as a public intellectual, his multi-disciplinary method of understanding society and his connections with figures such as Goffman and Fromm, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory and the history of American social science.
