This collection of essays, which originally appeared as a book in
1962, is virtually the complete works of an editor of "Commentary"
magazine who died, at age 37, in 1955. Long before the rise of
Cultural Studies as an academic pursuit, in the pages of the best
literary magazines of the day, Robert Warshow wrote analyses of the
folklore of modern life that were as sensitive and penetrating as
the writings of James Agee, George Orwell, and Walter Benjamin.
Some of these essays--notably "The Westerner," "The Gangster as
Tragic Hero," and the pieces on the "New Yorker," "Mad Magazine,"
Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," and the Rosenberg letters--are
classics, once frequently anthologized but now hard to find.
Along with a new preface by Stanley Cavell, "The Immediate
Experience" includes several essays not previously published in the
book--on Kafka and Hemingway--as well as Warshow's side of an
exchange with Irving Howe.
