"Louis Bromfield was a Midwestern-American writer and farmer whose wide-ranging career, straddling the literary, the commercial, and the agricultural, spanned over four decades from 1920-1956. Twenty-Four Hours shifted from his earlier style [influenced by such epic, Victorian authors as Dickens, Thackeray, and Galsworthy] by fusing Victorian, middlebrow, and modernist themes and techniques. Bromfield's reputation as a literary author was largely overlooked. He was remembered, instead, for his nature/agricultural writing and experimental farming at Malabar. In recent years, however, critical interest has started to address this imbalance . Perhaps, in light of this new interest, Bromfield's literary and cultural significance in twentieth century American literary history will begin to emerge." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.
