520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. This book contains that there is, and that the system of general, universal, and liberal education that became national policy after WWII reflected a distinctive national self-understanding. Exploring the deep currents of commitment and aspiration that informed that system, this book argues that many of the distinctive features of American education reflect a recognition that only education could solve the problems created by democracy, and particularly by a written Constitution. The need for citizens to have disciplined opinions, especially about the meaning of texts, accounts for the centrality of the humanities and the distinctive prominence of English in the American curriculum. In the final section, the book offers a striking new account of the history of literary study in the United States that places it in the context of a national project of education.
