Louis Bromfield, Novelist and Agrarian Reformer: the Forgotten Author - gebunden oder broschiert

Louis Bromfield, novelist and conservationist of the early 20th century, was popular during his era but has been largely ignored since. This volume assesses his contribution to American thought, while examining his fiction, political activities, and place in his generation. Scott (emeritus, U. of Toledo) concludes that Bromfield embodied the contradictions of his generation, and was finally rejected because his conservatism made his writings unfashionable during the upsurge of socialism's popularity.
