some background info onTocqueville
Review
of Tocqueville:

Info on Tocqueville
the history/writer and Mattawa’s Book
(you can click on
or copy/paste these links to get more info on some ideas from which Mattawa
draws ideas for Tocqueville… you might also google some of the sources from the
notes section of the book –p68/69—for more info and insight… nonetheless, one
doesn’t need background knowledge necessarily if one is also willing to read
and interpret the poems on their own terms; whatever a reader brings to the
text, in terms of personal knowledge, and interest in reading from another
perspective, will do… and however far you want to go into research in other
areas is up to you…)
