Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]chapters are arranged in order to illuminate what Conn calls the decade's "thick texture of 'pastness'" (8). [...]his discussions of leftist and documentary responses constitute the weakest points of the book, sidestepping the aesthetic (and modernist) sophistication of those poets, documentarians, novelists and playwrights who sought to present contemporary social perspectives. Eldridge's American Culture in the 1930s provides a more comprehensive survey of the cultural output of the decade, adhering to the format of the established EUP series on Twentieth Century American Culture. [...]chapters offering an intelligently structured overview of 1930s literature and drama, film and photography, music and radio, art and design, and "New Deal culture" are interspersed three apiece with closer readings of influential texts, events and people in the form of "case studies."
