- catalog abstract "The boisterous period in American history that produced the Charleston and Charles Lindbergh, surrealistic art and gangland-style murder was a period of upheaval, of fundamental change in American life--in politics, business, religion, the arts, and in living. In this anthology, the authors, politicians, preachers, and eccentrics speak for themselves: from Walter Lippmann to Anita Loos, from Bartolomeo Vanzetti to Joseph Wood Krutch, from Herbert Hoover to F. Scott Fitzgerald, here are the voices of the fools and the heroes of a wanton but innocent era. This collection reveals the roots of many of today's most hotly debated issues, for the twenties did not settle problems and disagreements concerning the human spirit versus technology, flag-waving patriotism versus international responsibility, puritanical inhibition versus flapper freedom, and many other conflicts of the spirit and mind. Rather, the people of the twenties first squarely faced such questions and in doing so "staggered into modernity."--Publisher description.".
