Over the course of sixty years, Alfred Kazin's writings
confronted virtually all of our major imaginative writers, from
Emerson to Emily Dickinson to James Wright and Joyce Carol Oates --
including such unexpected figures as Lincoln, William James, and
Thorstein Veblen. This son of Russian Jews wrote out of the
tensions of the outsider and the astute, outspoken leftist -- or,
as he put it, "the bitter patriotism of loving what one knows."
Editor Ted Solotaroff hasselected material from Kazin's three
classic memoirs to accompany his critical writings. Alfred Kazin's
America provides an ongoing example of the spiritual freedom,
individualism, and democratic contentiousness that he regarded as
his heritage and endeavored to pass on.
