"Irving Howe and the Critics" is a selection of essays and reviews
about the work of Irving Howe (1920-93), a vocal radical humanist
and the most influential American socialist intellectual of his
generation. Howe authored eighteen books, edited twenty-five more,
wrote dozens of articles and reviews, and edited the magazine
"Dissent" for forty years after founding it. His writings cover
subjects ranging from U.S. labor to the vicissitudes of American
communism and socialism to Yiddishkeit and contemporary politics.
His book "World of Our Fathers: The Journey of the East European
Jews to America and the Life They Found and Made" received the
National Book Award for Nonfiction. John Rodden has chosen essays
and reviews that focus on Howe's major works and on the disputes
they generated. He features both Dissent contributors and those who
have dissented from the Dissenters--on the Right as well as the
Left. Rodden includes a few stern assessments of Howe from his less
sympathetic critics, testifying not only to the range of
response--from admiration to hostility--that his work received but
also to his stature on the Left as a prime intellectual target of
neoconservative fire.
