Forgotten Prophet
The Awakening Twenties
A MEMOIR-HISTORY OF A LITERARY PERIOD
Gorham Munson
"Munson's volume is a lively, personal, but never
narcissistic view ofthe ever-fascinating 1920s. Unlike most
who have covered the era, Munson focuses on the home–
front-life in Greenwich Village, Stieglitz' photography,
Chaplin's films-with only glances across the Atlantic at
the expatriates headquartered in Paris.... Whether dis–
cussing giants such as Hart Crane or those whom the giants
overshadowed ... Munson treats each with equal amounts
of enthusiasm, insight, and gentiliry."-Bookllst
