( The fourteen essays selected and edited by Henry Dan Pi...)
The fourteen essays selected and edited by Henry Dan Piper present for the first time together Malcolm Cowley’s critical assessments of major nineteenth and early twentieth-century American writers. Larger in scope than Think Back on Us, in which were published Mr. Cowley’s pieces about the 1930s, principally from the New Republic, the present volume draws from his amazingly wide and varied literary understanding. These essays recapture parts of America’s past and anticipate its uncertain future. The book’s final essay, from which the metaphoric title is derived, provides a key to Mr. Cowley’s critical attitude: it is an attitude of positive eclecticism, essentially humanistic, and anti-scientific. To write about the man behind the pen, Mr. Cowley looks through many windows, and is able to see more than many of his fellow practitioners of literary criticism.

(From dust jacket panel: The importation of Negro slaves f...)
From dust jacket panel: The importation of Negro slaves from Africa to the two Americas was a gigantic commercial operation that cost between thirty and forty million lives, helped to finance the English and French industrial revolutions, and gave rise to the American plantation system, maritime trade, and the Civil War; it inflicted wounds on Africa and on America which are still unstanched. This lucid volume, documented with contemporary letters, diaries, business records, and testimonies, is a story of greed, violence, daring, and incredible callousness; it is the first general history of the Atlantic trade to be written in sixty years. From A Review: "..both fascinating and horrifying...It embodies the most careful research, and it also possesses literary charm..."

During the 1930’s, one of the liveliest decades in the history of the American mind, Malcolm Cowley was literary editor of the New Republic, the magazine that served more than any other as the intellectual conscience of a generation. The impressive collection of essays and reviews of this gifted commentator from that period is a kind of topical chronicle of the era. From hundreds of reviews and essays, Henry Dan Piper has selected and arranged these articles to offer a source book of readings in the epoch’s intellectual, social, and literary history. The volume is divided into two parts, and the articles are arranged chronologically. Part 1, The Social Record, illuminates the issues, problems, and ideas of the period. Part 2, The Literary Record, contains articles which deal chiefly with literary values. In addition, Mr. Cowley has written a lively, new, retrospective essay for this volume, “Adventures of a Book Reviewer,” in itself a classic on the art of the book review. No important name and no vital issue of this significant period is omitted from this record, attesting to Mr. Cowley’s remarkable discernment and to the purity of his artistic judgment. Thus, the record has a special value for the student of the era.
