Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The American Council of Learned Societies was formed in 1919 to support humanistic learning in the United States and to represent American scholarship abroad. In this 75th anniversary volume, the authors bring together lectures presented by ten of America's most distinguished scholars. Each lecture is a personal and intellectual glimpse into the "life of learning" of such celebrated scholars as Maynard Mack, Annemarie Schimmel, and John Hope Franklin. The lectures focus on self-reflection of lives dedicated to learning, rather than on scholarship in the usual sense of the term. Ranging from being forced to learn Latin to painful memories of war and racism, the lecturers all recount stories from their eventful lives. Each offers thoughts on the body of work he or she has produced and the forces, personal and intellectual, that have shaped it. Fine, first edition, first printing,in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NF80.
