Book summary





Media reviews


"If Kammen's aim in 'The Lively Arts' is to craft a biographical prism through which to view...the dismantling of America's ancient traditions--well, he's turned out an able documentary....One lesson of Seldes' life, this trenchant and enlightening volume implies, is an old one: Beware of what you wish for when you're young--you just may get too much of it when you're old."
