Cooney traces the evolution of the \u003ci\u003ePartisan Review\u003c\/i\u003e—often considered to be the most influential little magazine ever published in America—during its formative years, giving a lucid and dispassionate view of the magazine and its luminaries who played a leading role in shaping the public discourse of American intellectuals.

Dupee, Mary McCarthy, Sidney Hook, Harold Rosenberg, and Delmore Schwartz, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“An excellent book, which works at each level on which it operates. It succeeds as a straightforward narrative account of the \u003ci\u003ePartisan Review\u003c\/i\u003e in the 1930s and 1940s. The magazine’s leading voices—William Phillips, Philip Rahv, Dwight MacDonald, Lionel Trilling, and all the rest—receive their due. . . . Among the themes that engage Cooney. . . . are: how they dealt with ‘modernism’ in culture and radicalism in politics, each on its own and in combination; how Jewishness played a complex and fascinating role in many of the thinkers’ lives; and, especially, how ‘cosmopolitanism’ best explains what the\u003ci\u003e Partisan Review \u003c\/i\u003ewas all about.”—Robert Booth Fowler, \u003ci\u003eJournal of American History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012123377904,"sku":"9780299107147","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780299107147_p0.jpg?v=1763684367","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780299107147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
