Rebels in Bohemia: The Radicals of the Masses, 1911-1917

Front Cover
University of North Carolina Press, 1982 - History - 270 pages

With John Reed and Emma Goodman, the young, energetic radicals associated with The Masses attacked the genteel tradition in American culture and developed an artistic and literary style that was simple, straightforward, and free from the constraints of commercial magazines. Fishbein demonstrates that the conflicts that initially spurred the young radicals to creativity ultimately led to their political and social failure, for the new socialist order they championed proved impossible.



Originally published in 1982.
