Alexis de Tocquevilles Democracy in America has been recognized as an indispensable starting point for understanding American politics. From the publication of the second volume in 1840 until his death in 1859, Tocqueville continued to monitor political developments in America and committed many of his thoughts to paper in letters to his friends in America. He also made frequent references to America in many articles and speeches. Did Tocqueville change his views on America outlined in the two volumes of Democracy in America published in 1835 and 1840? If so, which of his views changed and why? The texts translated in Tocqueville on America after 1840: Letters and Other Writings answer these questions and offer English-speaking readers the possibility of familiarizing themselves with this unduly neglected part of Tocquevilles work. The book points out a clear shift in emphasis especially after 1852 and documents Tocquevilles growing disenchantment with America, triggered by such issues as political corruption, slavery, expansionism and the encroachment of the economic sphere upon the political.

This is the only book to extensively cover the development of Tocquevilles political thought on America after his seminal work, Democracy in America Includes never before published materials as well as new translations of speeches, articles, and letters Allows for a re-understanding of Democracy in America by revealing the development of Tocquevilles ideas on America
