Note:"In this impressive collection, [the editors] assemble both rising and established political theorists to explore Marilynne Robinson's works on American democracy, community, and freedom. Their trenchant analysis of her fiction and nonfiction provides an exceptionally rich volume, culminating in the coeditors' engrossing interview with Robinson. [This book] illustrates that Robinson is not only one of the most important novelists of our time, but also a public intellectual who contributes to the fields of theology, education and political theory"-- Page [4] of cover
