Description: Indianapolis :Bobbs Merrill, 1954.. 1st Edition 229 p. HARDCOVER: (Orig. orange cloth. pages uncutV ERY GOOD ¶ An individualist in a conforming society looks around and does not see much that gives him hope. Compare what he sees and predicts for the future with what we see upon looking around and Kronenberger comes across as a smart cookie. A Cultural Inquiry into American Life. Every age looks at itself, compares itself with previous ages, and judges itself on the basis of the comparison. That is how history gets written, and that is why it keeps having to be rewritten; for the age just before our own, in particular, always seems almost glaringly. Kronenberger, always the consummate author looks alternately dispassionately and passionately at all sides of this controversially chosen subject matter.
