In his own youth a crucial champion of the young Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Wilson went on to write three classics of literary and intellectual history ( <em>Axels Castle</em>, <em>To the Finland Station</em>, and <em>Patriotic Gore</em>), searching reportage, and criticism that has outlasted many of its subjects. Wilson documented his unruly private life--a formative love affair with Edna St. Vincent Millay, a tempestuous marriage to Mary McCarthy, and volatile friendships with Fitzgerald and Vladimir Nabokov, among others--in openly erotic fiction and journals, but Lewis Dabney is the first writer to integrate the life and work.<br />Dabney traces the critics intellectual development, from son of small-town New Jersey gentry to Americas last great renaissance man, a deep commentator on everything from the Russian classics to Native American rituals to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Along the way, Dabney shows why Wilson was and has remained--in his cosmopolitanism and trenchant nonconformity--a model for young writers and intellectuals, as well as the favorite critic of the general reader. <em>Edmund Wilson</em> will be recognized as the lasting biography of this brilliant man whose life reflected so much of the cultural, social, and human experience of a turbulent century.</p>...2802046Edmund Wilson206251https://www.gandhi.com.mx/edmund-wilson-9781466810440/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2227596/0421af20-5395-4ce5-95af-f8fddff054e8.jpg?v=638681993443500000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781466810440_W3siaWQiOiJiMjYwY2Y0NC1kMmZlLTQ2NmYtOGYyZi02MjhlMWUxZjcyZGMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI1MSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMjM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781466810440_<p>From the Jazz Age through the McCarthy era, Edmund Wilson (1895-1972) stood at the center of the American cultural scene.
