- Publish date: 05/01/1998
Description:
For over 50 years, from the 1940s to the 1990s, Irving Howe was a dominant, if controversial, figure in American intellectual life. Writing with the productivity of a major industry, Howe took on issues that extended from left-wing politics and American writers to Yiddish literature, the State of Israel, the condition of the American academy, and New York cultural and literary life.
Expand description
Best known for his prize-winning history of American Jewish immigrant culture, World of Our Fathers, Howe was an outspoken socialist as well as founder and editor of the democratic socialist magazine, Dissent. Through a clear, eloquent, and forcefully argued study of Howe's politics, writings, and thought, Edward Alexander constructs a sympathetic, yet critical intellectual biography of this complex individual.
