Riassunto:

"Tom Langston has made an enormous contribution to our understanding of American political culture and the underlying values involved in judgements about presidential performance. His work will help clarify our expectations about presidential governance, and will provide rigor in developing concepts of use in the national conversation about values in politics."--Richard M. Pious, Barnard College. "Langston's fascinating analysis of the dysfunctional relationship between Americans and their presidents is required reading for anyone concerned with the future of American politics."--Michael Lind, Senior Editor, 'Harper's Magazine'

Recensione:

""Are individual presidents at fault for a series of failed presidencies -- or are the expectations of the American people to blame? Thomas Langston's fascinating analysis of the dysfunctional relationship between Americans and their presidents is required reading for anyone concerned with the future of American politics. The crisis of the presidency is our own." -- Michael LindSenior, Editor, New Republic

""The era of the heroic presidency in political science may finally be over.. Yet if a skeptical mood has become more common, it has not been given the scholarly elaboration it requires. Thomas S. Langston begins to fill this gap in With Reverence and Contempt, showing us why citizens and scholars alike need the presidency to be demystified.. Future researchers in this field will owe Langston a debt for his mapping of the terrain." -- Bruce Miroff, American Political Science Review
