Frederick Lewis Allen Boeken
Frederick Lewis Allen was een vooraanstaand Amerikaans historicus en redacteur die een aanzienlijk deel van zijn carrière wijdde aan Harper's Magazine. Zijn geschriften boden scherpzinnige inzichten in de Amerikaanse samenleving en cultuur, met name in de periode tussen de wereldoorlogen. Hij blonk uit in het vastleggen van de tijdgeest en maatschappelijke veranderingen door middel van gedetailleerde, maar toegankelijke verhalen. Allen's onderscheidende aanpak stelde lezers in staat de evolutie van het moderne Amerika beter te begrijpen.
