Inhaltsangabe

New York Intellect is Thomas Bender's remarkable look at the connections between the life of a city and the life of the mind.

Yet New Yorkers have always struggled to create institutions and styles of thought and writing that reflect the special character of the city, its boundless energies and deep divisions.
