History of a Literary Radical, and Other Essays

by Randolph Silliman Bourne

This book, published posthumously, gathers a collection of essays by Randolph Bourne, a prominent American writer and intellectual of the early 20th century. The essays, originally appearing in publications such as *The Atlantic Monthly* and *The New Republic*, showcase Bourne's insightful perspectives on various aspects of American society, literature, and culture. His writings grapple with themes of American identity, the role of intellectuals in society, and the evolving nature of cultural and national boundaries. The collection includes the seminal essay "Trans-National America," which explores the complexities of American identity in a globalized world, alongside excerpts from Bourne's unfinished autobiographical novel. The volume provides a glimpse into the mind of a significant literary figure who challenged conventional thinking and offered profound observations on the American experience.
