1947..1969
By
EDMUND WILSON. The author's lucid and absorbing account of the dis–

To that renowned work he has now added a new section-longer
than the original book-reporting the major findings from
1955
to the present.
"A very remarkable book, and he has brought together a vast amount of in–
formation which he presents with his usual felicity and delightful fluency."

with reference to present-day society and its problems.
