Review:
From the Back Cover:
"The Modern Temper is an engaging, stimulating, and thoughtful re-creation of one of our most interesting and complex decades. A wonderful accomplishment." --Lawrence W. Levine, George Mason University
"Lynn Dumenil's The Modern Temper provides an exciting and original synthesis of a crucial decade that few of us really understand. She makes the insights and confusions of the women and the men of the twenties come alive. This is an important book." --Ellen Dubois, University of California at Los Angeles
"Dumenil offers wealth of fresh insights on a fascinating decade. This illuminating study subtly recasts our understanding of an era whose tensions and stresses often uncannily parallel those of our own day." --Paul Boyer, University of Wisconsin
When most of us take a backward glance at the 1920's, we may think of prohibition and the jazz age, of movie stars and flappers, of Harold Lloyd and Mary Pickford, of Lindbergh and Hoover--and of Black Friday, October 29, 1929, when the plunging stock market ushered in the great depression. Lynn Dumenil brings a fresh interpretation to a dramatic, important, and misunderstood decade.
