Abstract:
"This study is based on research drawn from Nathan's and H. L. Mencken's papers, other archival sources, interviews, and correspondence. It is primarily a study of Nathan's criticism, but there is also material on Nathan's life, other critics, writers Nathan knew and worked with, the world of newspapers and magazines, New York theater, press agents, night clubs, and columnists." "Readers drawn to the "Roaring Twenties," gossip about the Great White Way, discussion of high, middle, and low-brow culture will seek out this book."--BOOK JACKET.
