Professor Andreas Hess has published a new book entitled 'Tocqueville and Beaumont: Aristocratic Liberalism in Democratic Times'.

This is the first concise study to give full credit to the collaboration of works between French nobleman, writer and politician Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59) and his travel companion and friend Gustave de Beaumont (1802-66), and puts this collaboration into its social, historical and theoretical context.

The book is available to purchase through Palgrave Macmillan.
