Tocqueville Online

As mentioned in the syllabus, the Tocqueville text assigned for the course can be found online. A free hyper-text version is available from the University of Virginia's American Studies department. A number of formats also are available from Project Gutenberg.

You are welcome to use these editions. However, TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:
  • These online versions may use a different translation than the one we have in class. This may make it hard for you to follow along in class discussions.
  • Moreover, you should bring your readings to class with you. Assuming you do not store a copy of the online text on an electronic device (laptop, smartphone, etc.), then you will need to print out sections of the text and bring them to class.
Please keep this in mind when deciding what version of the text you will use.
