George F. Kennan, Professor Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, was Ambassador to the USSR in 1952, and Ambassador to Yugoslavia from 1961 to 1963. His most recent books are At a Century's Ending and An American Family. (April 2001)

Nancy Mitford (1904-1973) was the eldest of the "Mitford girls," the sisters who captured the attention of the English public and press with their literary talents and unpopular politics. Nancy Mitford herself was famous for her novels (The Pursuit of Love, The Blessing, and Don't Tell Alfred), for her forays into social science (a critical study of the English aristocracy), and for her biographies of famous figures from French history (Madame de Pompadour, Voltaire in Love, and The Sun King).

Emma Rothschild is a fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and will be teaching history at Harvard next fall. Her latest book is Economic Sentiments: Adam Smith, Condorcet and the Enlightenment. (March 2004)

Edmund Wilson (1895-1972) is widely regarded as the preeminent American man of letters of the twentieth century. Over his long career, he wrote for Vanity Fair, helped edit The New Republic, served as chief book critic for The New Yorker, and was a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books. Wilson was the author of more than twenty books, including Axel's Castle, Patriotic Gore, and a work of fiction, Memoirs of Hecate County.
