Linking literary and historical trends, Stephen Schryer underscores the exalted fantasies that arose from postwar American writers’ new sense of their cultural mission. Hoping to transform capitalism from within, writers and critics tried to cultivate aesthetically attuned professionals who could disrupt the narrow materialism of the bourgeoisie.
