Description: MIDDLETOWN IN TRANSITION By Robert S. Lynd Helen Merrell Lynd Harvest Book HB 65. A Study in Cultural Conflicts Robert S. Lynd and Helen Merrell Lynd "This is the first full-length portrait, to my knowledge, of the incredible drama and tragedy of the great depression. A great book, a great study: careful, fair, charged with the long view." -Stuart Chase, New York Herald Tribune "A complete synthesis of the American scene and of how the actors in the cast evaluate the spectacle. Both it and its predecessor, Middletown, are slices of the living tissue of Demos, subjected to all the laboratory tests and methods which intelligent curiosity can reasonably ask of social scientists." -Duncan Aikman, Saturday Review Robert S. Lynd, Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, and Helen Merrell Lynd, Professor of Social Philosophy at Sarah Lawrence College, were born in the Middle West and now live in New York. Well known as writers of books and articles, Mr. and Mrs. Lynd's most famous collaborations are their two books about Middletown. Cover design by Janet Halverson
