Reviews for The Rise of the New York Intellectuals: Partisan Review and Its Circle, 1934-1945

"""An excellent book, which works at each level on which it operates. It succeeds as a straightforward narrative account of the ""Partisan Review"" in the 1930s and 1940s. The magazine's leading voices--William Phillips, Philip Rahv, Dwight MacDonald, Lionel Trilling, and all the rest--receive their due. . . . Among the themes that engage Cooney . . . are: how they dealt with 'modernism' in culture and radicalism in politics, each on its own and in combination; how Jewishness played a complex and fascinating role in many of the thinkers' lives; and, especially, how ""cosmopolitanism"" best explains what the ""Partisan Review ""was all about.""--Robert Booth Fowler, ""Journal of American History"""
