Over fifty years ago the great American philosopher Arthur O. Lovejoy set down an agenda for the new field called the �history of ideas.� He conceived of it as an interdisciplinary effort, designed to encompass a variety of fields of study, including the history of philosophy, the history of science, folklore and ethnography, the history of language, the history of religious beliefs, literary history, comparative literature, the history of the arts, economic history, the history of education, political and social history, and historical sociology. Since 1940 the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a forum for pioneer studies in all these fields, and intellectual history itself has come of age; it has become an independent field of study and has expanded beyond and departed from Lovejoy�s original conception in various ways. This volume gathers together some of the most significant articles concerning the theory and practice of intellectual history to have appeared in the Journal of the History of Ideas since its inception. Represented are critical essays by and about Lovejoy himself and studies by several generations of scholars, including LEO SPITZER, JOHANN HUIZINGA, THEODORE SPENCER, FREDERICK J. TEGGART, PAUL OSKAR KRISTELLER, JOSEPH MAZZEO, PHILIP P.WIENER, LEONARD KRIEGER, DAN IEL J. WILSON, LESTER G. CROCKER, PAT RICK H. HUTTON, and DONALD R.
