misconceptions that defined the Roaring Twenties, as portrayed
through the popular literary works of the time. This one-stop

World War and ended with the stock market crash of 1929-digs into
the cultural, historical, and literary contexts of the era. Author

common conceptions of the Roaring Twenties and instead reflect on
the era's complexities and contradictions, including how gender and
race influenced social mores. The book profiles key American

Gatsby, Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, Sinclair Lewis's
Babbit, Anita Loos's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Nella Larsen's
Passing. Filled with essays that offer historical explorations of
each work as well as suggested learning activities, chapters also
feature study questions, primary source documents, and

discussion questions, topics for further research, and suggested
