About this book

Civilization in the United States: An Inquiry by Thirty Americans

Edited by Harold E. Stearns

Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York; copyright 1922

Original blue cloth hardcover

What did American civilization look like to its own critics at the start of the 1920s? Stearns brought thirty American voices together to examine the country’s cultural and intellectual life, creating a lively period portrait for readers of American history, social criticism, and the arts.

This vintage Harcourt, Brace copy has faded spine lettering and wear to the blue cloth, with rubbing, spotting, and worn edges and corners. Pages have age toning, pencil underlining and marginal marks, and an ink note in the preface. No dust jacket.
