Agincourt Press aims to publish books that recognize the incipient nature of any meaningful and productive thought. A book published by us is an idea in the making. Undaunted by the necessarily provisional quality of thinking, we do not seek to endorse pieties. Viresque acquirit eundo: we too will pick up strength as we go. Savoring a process that entwines critical and poetic language, our books seek to instigate a political awareness unfettered by the constraints of unalterable premises or unreflectively accepted values. The success of our enterprise will not be measured by the amplitude of the assent it may receive but the liveliness of the discourse we hope to engender.
