Abstract

Midwife to Culture
Powys, Llewelyn | April 16, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

Paul Rosenfeld's new book so admirably named "The Port of New York" sets out to persuade the reader that here and now in the U.S. there has appeared a deep, indigenous culture capable of holding its own against any that is present in the older countries of Europe. The thing has been largely achieved, so it seems to Rosenfeld, by the work of some fourteen of his own contemporaries, writers, painters and musicians. There is something about Rosenfeld's work that is extremely reassuring. One may be irritated by his partiality, by a certain self-indulgence in his style, but one cannot fail to recognize this critical writing as a very rare and valuable influence upon the life of the U.S. today.
