Poet and Journalist, Max Eastman is perhaps the most famous example of an American intellectual who during his life moved across the entire political spectrum. This reexamination of his career and his place in history reveals the dynamics behind his several careers and political transformations, offering new insight into one of the most influential writers of this century. It is a model biography of a key intellectual of the twentieth century. It is also both a perspective social history of his times and a study in the history of ideas. The book will find a welcome place in history, literature, and political science courses, as well as in personal libraries.

William L. O’Neill is professor of history at Rutgers University, and the author of numerous books on recently American history, including A Better World: Stalinism and the American Intellectuals and Feminism in America: A History, both available from Transaction.
