Opis

Folklorist, writer, editor, regionalist, cultural activist--Benjamin Albert Botkin (1901-1975) was an American intellectual who made a mark on the twentieth century, even though most people may be unaware of it. This book, the first to reevaluate the legacy of Botkin in the history of American culture, celebrates his centenary through a collection of writings that assess his influence on scholarship and the American scene.
