Poet, social scientist, and literary essayist, Reuel Denney is
best known perhaps as co-author of "The Lonely Crowd" with David
Riesman and Nathan Glaser. These selected essays and poems, edited
by Tony Quagliano, span a wide range of topics and more than a half
century of American cultural history.
The topics range from international finance to leisure, from
Greek mythology to Disney, from American poetry to the great oral
tradition of Polynesian poetry. Woven throughout is Denney's
fascinating memoir Experience in the World, an autobiographical
meditation on America in the twentieth century. This unique
collection presents one poet and scholar's encounter with the
complexities of American life. American culture, Denney shows us,
is the product of the many cultures of the world; it is indeed a
Feast of Strangers. This is a work for scholars, students, and
other researchers of American literature and culture studies.
