Published after Randolph Bourne’s death in 1918 and edited by Van Wyck Brooks, these essays gather the voice of a young radical critic. They include a disguised autobiography, an attack on American cultural humility before Europe, the Puritan will to power, studies of Dostoevsky and Theodore Dreiser, a comic afternoon of parenthood, and impressions of Europe on the eve of war.
Essential reading for anyone interested in the young intellectuals who reshaped American culture after 1910. Download the free EPUB.
