Arthur Goldhammer


TRANSLATES: French

Arthur Goldhammer has translated more than eighty works by many of France’s most noted authors. Specializing in French history, literature, philosophy, and social science, he is on the editorial board of the journal French Politics, Culture and Society and in 1996 was named Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture. In 1997, he was awarded the Médaille de Vermeil by the Académie Française. As a 2006–2007 Guggenheim fellow, he will be working on a book about democracy after Tocqueville, whose Democracy in America he translated in 2004 and for which he received the Florence Gould Translation Prize. He is also working on a novel about American physicists in Europe on the eve of World War II
