The Pull of Politics
Steinbeck, Wright, Hemingway, and the Left in the Late 1930s
Samenvatting
In the 1930s, John Steinbeck, Richard Wright, and Ernest Hemingway wrote novels that won critical acclaim and popular success. All three were involved with the Left, and that commitment informed their fiction. Milton Cohen examines their motives for involvement with the Left; their novels’ political themes; and why they separated from the Left.
