{"product_id":"humanistic-letters-eric-adler-9780826222909","title":"Humanistic Letters: The Irving Babbitt-Paul Elmer More Correspondence","description":"Irving Babbitt (1865-1933) and Paul Elmer More (1864-1937) were the leading lights of the New Humanism, a consequential movement of literary and social criticism in America. Through their writings on literary, educational, cultural, religious, and political topics, they influenced countless important thinkers, such as T.S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis, Russell Kirk, Benedetto Croce, Werner Jaeger, and George Will. Their work became the source of heated public debates in the 1920s and early 1930s. The belligerent criticisms of Babbitt and More--composed by such famous intellectuals as Ernest Hemmingway and H.L. Mencken--have ensured that the New Humanism has seldom been properly appreciated. \u003ci\u003eHumanistic Letters\u003c\/i\u003e helps remedy this problem, by providing for the first time the extant correspondence of Babbitt and More, which gets to the heart of their intellectual project. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Adler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826222900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826222909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Missouri Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 0.30w x 2.80d","brand":"Eric Adler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227650126079,"sku":"9780826222909","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a1aabf9-54bd-4ea6-8e26-5e60a3b9e10d.jpg?v=1692809857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/humanistic-letters-eric-adler-9780826222909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
