"William Howard Taft" as a book category denotes works focused on the life, career, ideas and legacy of William Howard Taft—27th President of the United States (1909–1913) and later Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1921–1930). Titles in this category include full-length biographies, presidential and judicial histories, legal and constitutional analyses of Taft’s jurisprudence, studies of his role in the Progressive Era (including his split with Theodore Roosevelt, tariff and trust policies, and dollar diplomacy), collections of letters and speeches, and popular treatments for general and younger audiences. Typical themes are executive versus judicial power, administrative reform and civil service, constitutional interpretation, U.S. foreign policy and imperial governance (e.g., the Philippines), and the politics of the Republican Party in the early 20th century. Books may range from archival scholarly monographs and legal commentary to narrative popular histories, revisionist takes re-evaluating his reputation, and occasional historical fiction inspired by his life; the audience spans academics, law and history students, general readers interested in presidents or the Progressive Era, and collectors of presidential literature.
