JEAN STAFFORD'S
great successor to
BOSTON ADVENTURE
The Catherine
Wheel
This new novel by Jean Stafford is a literary event of the very
first importance. When
Boston Adventure
appeared Howard
Mumford Jones hailed her as "a commanding talent, who writes
in
the great tradition of the English novel."
The Mountain Lion
was
also
acclaimed as a great achievement, and Orville Prescott
declared: "Her second novel . . . seems to me a notable ad–
vance over the first." Her new novel is the story of an uncon–
ventional love. Though the setting is Maine, the characters
have their roots in Boston.
The Catherine Wheel
not only will
appeal to Jean Stafford's wide and important following, but will
also win new friends for her work. .

CEORCE DANCERFIELD'S
The Era Of
Good Feelings
A vivid, new approach to the neglected period when America
came of age. The presidency of James Monroe was an era of
soaring nationalism. It was followed by "The Lurid Administra–
tion" of John Quincy Adams. Together they mark the transition
from Jeffersonian to Jacksonian philosophy. George Dangerfield
records the events, the maneuvers, the personalities that made
1817-29 one of the most stimulating and crucial periods in
America's history.
