Harry Crosby

For literary scholars, Harry Crosby has been an extreme example of the rebellious and dissipated American expatriate of the 1920s. His life more than his writings has gained him a place in literary history. Revealing influences from nineteenth-century romanticism to symbolism, Dadaism and surrealism, his works demonstrate, in microcosm, the course of modernist literary thought and form.
