Citizenship and Democratic Doubt: The Legacy of Progressive Thought. By Bob Pepperman Taylor. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2004. 240p. $29.95.

Spanning the 1890s to World War I, the Progressive era was characterized by optimism, faith in science and reason, and a commitment to broad social reform. It is remembered, today, mainly for its achievements in combating the social ills associated with new patterns of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration, among them poverty, prostitution, and political corruption.
