The Worlds of Irving Howe: The Critical Legacy is a wide-ranging
anthology of criticism devoted to the literary, cultural, and
political work of the writer Irving Howe. The book offers a broad
cross-section of critical and biographical writings about Howe.
Collected here are assessments of Howe's work written by some of
the most prominent intellectuals of the twentieth century, among
them Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, C. Vann Woodward, Robert Coles,
Daniel Bell, Malcolm Cowley, and Arthur Schlesinger. The critical
estimates of Howe's major books, collected here and framed by a
major biographical introduction by John Rodden, constitute a
sharply focused lens through which readers can re-evaluate the
legacy of one of American's leading intellectuals and thereby
understand the main issues of twentieth-century Anglo-American
cultural history. Contributors: Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, C.
Vann Woodward, Newton Arvin, Charles Angoff, Edward Dahlberg, Isaac
Rosenfeld, Richard Chase, H.D. Lasswell, Dennis Wrong, Michael
Harrington, Christopher Lasch, Robert Coles, Daniel Bell, Malcolm
Cowley, Arthur Schlesinger, Theodore Solotaroff, Clive James,
Norman Podhoretz, Irving Kristol, and William Phillips, among
others.
