Book excerpt: "In "The Ghost of Yankee Doodle" Sidney Howard grapples with the problem of war and peace, demonstrates the impotence of sober liberalism as pitted against drunken jingoism, but ends with a faint note of hope for the forces of temperance and sanity, a note which is scarcely justified by what has gone before. A great newspaper owner, a frank caterer to mob passions, is the chief antagonist; while two brothers, a manufacturer and a one-paper journalist, do battle for liberalism and pacifism, but draw their strength from a woman, their sister-in-law. There is something in the play of the old conflict of destruction versus creation with their usual symbols, a man and a woman." -- Crimson Playgoer.

Download or read book American Writers and the Approach of World War II 1930 1941 written by Ichiro Takayoshi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ichiro Takayoshi's book argues that World War II transformed American literary culture. From the mid-1930s to the American entry into World War II in 1941, pre-eminent figures from Ernest Hemingway to Reinhold Neibuhr responded to the turn of the public's interest from the economic depression at home to the menace of totalitarian systems abroad by producing novels, short stories, plays, poems, and cultural criticism in which they prophesied the coming of a second world war and explored how America could prepare for it. The variety of competing answers offered a rich legacy of idioms, symbols, and standard arguments that were destined to license America's promotion of its values and interests around the world for the rest of the twentieth century. Ambitious in scope and addressing an enormous range of writers, thinkers, and artists, this book is the first to establish the outlines of American culture during this pivotal period."--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened in American drama in the years between the Depression and the conclusion of World War II? How did war make its impact on the theatre? More important, how was drama used during the war years to shape American beliefs and actions? Albert Wertheim's Staging the War brings to light the important role played by the drama during what might arguably be called the most important decade in American history. As much of the country experienced the dislocation of military service and work in war industries, the dramatic arts registered the enormous changes to the boundaries of social classes, ethnicities, and gender roles. In research ranging over more than 150 plays, Wertheim discusses some of the well-known works of the period, including The Time of Your Life, Our Town, Watch on the Rhine, and All My Sons. But he also uncovers little-known and largely unpublished plays for the stage and radio, by such future luminaries as Arthur Miller and Frank Loesser, including those written at the behest of the U.S. government or as U.S.O. musicals. The American son of refugees who escaped the Third Reich in 1937, Wertheim gives life to this vital period in American history.
