Abstract

Morgan the Great
Stolberg, Benjamin | September 24, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Morgan the Magnificent," by John K. Winkler. Winkler lacks the disciplined comprehensiveness of the social historian to place the character of his book in his period. But though he really misses the total significance of the character named Morgan, he does convey his sense of power. The man lives, though with less fullness than he actually did live. But he lives with sufficient pace and audacity for the reader to regret that he never met him. The character Morgan hated democracy and so he never courted it. He also hated Jews and so he never boasted "some of his best friends were Jews."
