Review'This is a work that I have been waiting twentyfive years to read. The first booklength study to seriously investigate, explicate, and analyze the prose of one of modern America's important yet neglected writers.'Robert A. Rosenstone, author of Romantic Revolutionary: A Biography of John ReedProduct DescriptionJohn Reed (18871920) is best known as the author of Ten Days That Shook the World and as champion of the communist movement in the United States. Still, Reed remains a writer almost systematically ignored by the literary critical establishment, even if alternately vilified and lionized by historians and by films like Warren Beattys Reds.John Reed and the Writing of Revolution examines Reeds writing from a different critical perspectiveone informed by a theoretical and practical understanding of literary nonfiction. In both politics and writing, John Reed defied fashion. In his short career, Reed transcended the traditional creative arts of fiction, poetry, and drama in favor of deeply researched histories composed with the cadence of fiction and the power of fact. Reed thereby alienated literary critics who had idealized timeless artistry against the roughandtumble world of historical details and political implications.Working from a close investigation of rare articles, manuscripts, and the Reed papers at Harvard as well as from Reeds published work, Daniel W. Lehman offers the first detailed literary study of the man who followed Pancho Villa into battle; wrote literary profiles of such characters as Henry Ford, William Jennings Bryan, and Billy Sunday; explicated the Byzantine factionalism of Eastern Europe; and witnessed the storming of the Winter Palace and the birth of Soviet Russia.About the AuthorDaniel W. Lehman is a professor of English at Ashland University in Ohio. He is the author of Matters of Fact: Reading Nonfiction over the Edge and is the coeditor of River Teeth: A Journal of Nonfiction Narrative.
