"Jonathan Beecher gives us exactly what his subtitle announces--a picture of this visionary and his world that is detailed, meaty, colorful and sympathetic, but not uncritical. Charles Fourier: The Visionary and His World is a thorough and thoroughly professional job." --Eugen Weber, New York Times Book Review
 
"Jonathan Beecher's long-awaited intellectual biography of Fourier . . . is an authentic chef d'oeuvre: thorough, balanced, amply documented, warmly appreciative of Fourier's genius. . . . A vigorous and absorbing book . . . brimming with insight and life." --W. Warren Wagar, American Historical Review
 
"This is a marvelous book. . . .Beecher spent years looking at old archives and papers relating to Fourier in order to produce what is by far the most readable, intelligent, and satisfying biography of this extraordinary thinker." --Stanley Hoffmann, French Politics and Society
 
"Jonathan Beecher has written an important, and, in many ways, beautiful book on a complex and misunderstood thinker. . . . Beecher has set a magnificent standard for himself and other historians." -- Carl Strikwerda, Fides et Historia
 
"A great accomplishment. . . .The best work on Fourier in existence." --Nicholas V. Riasanovsky, University of California, Berkeley
