A major reinterpretation of American thought from 1917 to 1930, with a lively foray into the popular culture of the supposedly roaring twenties.
How roaring were the Roaring Twenties? How lost was the Lost Generation? In this major reinterpretation of one of the most colorful decades in American history, Roderick Nash finds the image of the period to be less than life-size. His book is not only a summary of the high points of American thought from the Great War to the Great Depression but a lively foray into popular culture. His interest in Zane Grey as well as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Ford as well as John Dewey, offers fresh insights into a decade filled with paradoxes. Seeking to find “what captured the enthusiasm of ordinary people,” Mr. Nash has written an original and persuasive analysis of a generation that continues to command our attention.
