"Spirited, learned, and epic."*
"Crunden assimilates an amazing amount of information and, like his
modernists, brings an inventive form, charm, color, and imagination to what
were once aesthetic abstractions. He tells his 'story' very well indeed."
-Kirkus Reviews*
"In this ambitious overview, Crunden looks at modernism in the .S. and
abroad as practicedbyleading artists and intellectuals.... The most vivid
chapters look at Americans in Europe and New York City: Leo and Gertrude
Stein's salon in Paris, and Mabel Dodge's crowd in Manhattan.... His
exhaustive archival research makes the book avaluable resource."
