About the author

Harold Edmund Stearns was known as a prolific critic, journalist, editor and essayist during the 1920's and 1930's. He wrote essays in The New Republic, edited both The Dial and the famous iconoclastic symposium "Civilization in the United States".

For many chroniclers of the era, Stearns was the quintessential expatriate - a symbol of the 'exile' period in American literature.
