The influential essays of the Commentary editor who died in 1955 at only 37 years old. He was a noteworthy member of The New York Intellectuals clique of the early '50s. Harvard University Press wrote of this work upon republication in 2002, "Long before the rise of Cultural Studies as an academic pursuit, in the pages of the best literary magazines of the day, Robert Warshow wrote analyses of the folklore of modern life that were as sensitive and penetrating as the writings of James Agee, George Orwell, and Walter Benjamin. Some of these essays--notably 'The Westerner,' 'The Gangster as Tragic Hero,' and the pieces on the New Yorker, Mad Magazine, Arthur Miller's [play] The Crucible, and the Rosenberg letters--are classics."
