Structures of the Jazz Age Structures of the Jazz Age : Mass Culture, Progressive Education and Racial Disclosures in American Modernism / Chip Rhodes

Verso, 1998. Trade pb. New. 

Charts the 1920s cultural landscape populated by intellectuals like Mencken and Babbitt, and by major writers like Dos Passos, Cather and Dreiser. Looks beyond the mainstream to consider as well more marginal schools of thought: educational philosophy, the critique of mass culture, and the cult of primitivism.
