This book is a social chronicle of the Left Wing writer from 1912 to the early 1940s. More specifically, it describes the response of a selected group of American writers to the idea of communism and deals with particular issues and events during the first forty years of the 20th century which helped to shape their opinions. A very small fraction of the Left Wing writers were once members of the Communist Party. A considerably larger number might better be designated 'fellow travelers, ' that is, those who were in the 'movement, ' who sympathized with the objectives of the party, wrote for the party press, or knowingly affiliated with associations sponsored by the party. Threefold purpose of this book: to help the younger reader learn why it was that so many writers and intellectuals were once willing to embrace a revolutionary cause; to explain the writers to those who lived through the radical decades without ever coming into contact with the literary Left Wng; and to remind the veterans who actually participated in a few literary skirmishes what they may have forgotten or never have known about the campaign as a whole. ; 8-5/8"Tall; 460 pages.
