This well-preserved copy of Maxwell Geismar’s “Writers in Crisis: The American Novel 1925-1940” offers a fascinating literary exploration of a turbulent era in American history. Published in 1961, Geismar’s insightful analysis examines the works of influential novelists such as John Dos Passos, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose writings captured the disillusionment and social upheaval of the interwar years. As a respected critic and scholar, Geismar provides a nuanced perspective on how these authors grappled with the aftermath of World War I, the Great Depression, and the changing landscape of American society. This volume is a must-have for collectors and readers interested in 20th-century American literature, cultural studies, and the profound impact of historical events on artistic expression.
