Summary

""Utopia Limited "will set in place a new way of understanding the interface between social, cultural, and political impulses in the sixties. Its aim--and its success--is not simply to mark out what we can now see as the emergent postmodern in texts as diverse as "The Port Huron Statement" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, " but to interpret, through attentive close readings, precisely how and where the modern and nascent postmodern are joined in such texts."--Cora Kaplan, author of "Sea Changes: Essays on Culture and Feminism"

Author Biography

Marianne DeKoven is a professor of English at Rutgers University.
