Harvard-trained, conservative historian of American literature and culture who gave up the Ivy League to teach at a Black college, then later at Johns Hopkins. Immensely entertaining and informative essays debunking bad histories of American literature and reminding readers that the basic facts of biography and chronology are indeed important.

The essays on Walter Lippmann, Emerson, Eleanor Roosevelt, editor Max Perkins, Hemingway are all revelations and will send you back to the library shelves. A book you will enjoy reading, perhaps with some anger at times. It was, according to his wife, Lynn's favorite of his books and one can imagine the pleasure that went into his tirades against Garry Wills, empiricist literary history, or Puritanism in academe.
