Malcolm Cowley, one of America’ s best-known literary critics, was literary editor of the New Republic from 1929 to 1940. Among his many books are Exile’ s Return, After the Genteel Tradition, and, most recently, The Faulkner-Cowley File.  Henry Dan Piper is Profes­sor of English at Southern Illinois University. His most recent book is F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Critical Portrait.

“ No other critic was more engaged in the Kulturkampf of the times or more strate­gically placed to observe the stories of the warring intellectual platoons . . . [the book] conveys the intellectual excitement and moral fever of the period.”      — Daniel Aaron, New York Times Book Review “ A rare and exciting collection which makes me want to re-read at least a score of the books from that time.” — William Hogan, San Francisco Chronicle “ Think Back on Us is a memorable vol­ume.” — Louis D. Rubin, Jr., Washington Evening Star “ The book serves the purpose for which Professor Piper edited it— to give young people some idea of what the Thirties were like. . . . One thing undergraduates are bound to learn . . . is that the decade is not to be summed up in a single generalization.” — Granville Hicks, Saturday Review  “ A priceless review of the 1930s… a carefully selected, beautifully readable collection of essays, reviews, and editorials which reflect the times at its best.” — The Oregon Journal
