Privileging the tangible over the ideological, Dos Passos's writing between the two World Wars reveals the enormous human costs of modern warfare and ensuing political upheavals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wide-ranging and engaging collection of essays explores the work of Dos Passos during a time that challenged writers to find new ways to understand and render the unfolding of history. Taking their foci from a variety of disciplines, including fashion, theater, and travel writing, the contributors extend the scholarship on Dos Passos beyond his best-known \u003ci\u003eU.S.A.\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy. Including scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, the volume takes on such topics as how writers should position their labor in relation to that of blue-collar workers and how Dos Passos's views of Europe changed from fascination to disillusionment.
