Ring Lardner was one of the most popular figures of the early twentieth century - newspaper columnist, sports writer, short story writer and personality - yet he has received little attention from scholars. Douglas Robinson's new book examines the writings of a critically neglected American writer; it also uses Lardner as the basis for a theoretical inquiry into language and literature, and a study of men and masculinity at the turn of the century.
This is a brilliantly structured experiment in theoretically based criticism....This is an important work detailing the meaning of 'minor' writers. It breaks ground to find new ways to give serious attention to popular literature. * Choice *
