Although he died at the age of thirty-two, Randolph Bourne (1886-1918) left a body of writing on politics, culture, and literature that made him one of the most influential public intellectuals of the twentieth century, and a hero of the American left. The twenty-eight essays of this volume - among them, "War and the Intellectuals, the analysis of the warfare state that made Bourne the foremost critic of American entry into World War 1, and "Trans-National America", his manifesto for cultural pluralism in America - show Bourne at his most passionate and incisive as they trace his search for the true wellsprings of nationalism and American culture.

Valuable contribution to the literature,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: War and the Intellectuals: Collected Essays, 1915-1919 (Bourne) (Paperback)
Scholars and history buffs of the Progressive era will value this collection of essays by Randolph Bourne. Reading the original essays delivers the reader from relying on secondary resources. Moreover, this collection contains the significant Bourne essays. Particularly valuable are the essays outlining Bourne's disagreement with leading Progressive intellectuals, particularly John Dewey. Also, Bourne's thinking regarding the connection between the modern state and war is very interesting.
