THE SATURDAY REVIEW TREASURY

by The Saturday Review -- Eds. of ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 22, 1957

. . . offers selections from a twenty-five year span. This magazine which widened its sphere of interest from literature to other areas of human concern and enjoyment, helped form ideas and tastes. Santayana writes on the course of modern morality; Edith Wharton on that of modern fiction; Schlesinger on the Communist Party, Elmer Davis on ""The Red Peril""; Schweitzer on ethics in the 20th century; Thomas Mann on Freud. A constellation of names with lighter inclusions too -- as well as cartoons by Thurber and an introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch. Largely for the more serious reader, this collection offers a stimulating exchange of opinion and judgment.
