Items related to The Fall of Public Man
Synopsis
A sweeping, farsighted study of the changing nature of public culture and urban society, The Fall of Public Man spans more than two centuries of Western sociopolitical evolution and investigates the causes of our declining involvement in political life. Richard Sennett s insights into the danger of the cult of individualism remain thoroughly relevant to our world today. In a new epilogue, he extends his analysis to the new public realm of social media, questioning how public culture has fared since the digital revolution."

Review
Provocative. . . . Sennett brings us to an undeniably recognizable place, the contemporary urban scene.--Richard Todd
A powerful argument for a more formal public culture and a swipe against the rise of a self-indulgent counter-culture.--Melissa Benn,
Brilliant. . . . One admires the breadth of Professor Sennett's erudition, the reach of his historical imagination, the doggedness of his analysis.--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt
