About this book

Judging the people who shape a nation's literature, art and scientific thought requires more than a measure of popularity. Burton Egbert Stevenson begins with this problem before offering brief biographical sketches of American writers, painters, sculptors, performers, scientists and other public figures. His introduction weighs personal taste against popularity and lasting reputation, presenting the collection as an accessible first step toward studying American intellectual life.

The range extends beyond books and galleries. A section on science describes Marsh and Cope investigating fossil remains in the Rocky Mountain region, then turns to Agassiz and the evidence for an Ice Age. Teachers, reformers and inventors also have their place in the chapter plan. Readers interested in the history of knowledge can use these portraits to see how an early twentieth-century writer linked individual achievements with the development of national culture.
