Young People's Pride

Young Americans in the years just after the war, trying to marry on nothing and to be modern about it. Benét published it at twenty-four, between the poems that made his name and the long narrative that won him the Pulitzer. This edition binds 55 plates of painting with the text, among them John Sloan, George Luks, William Orpen and Robert Bevan, and restores all four in-text illustrations in colour.
