Abstract
The name of Philip Rahv calls to mind a canonical chapter in the history of the American Left: the romance of American Communism in the early years of the depression, its traumatic end in the wake of the Moscow Trials and the Hitler-Stalin pact, and the recoil from radicalism in the 1940s and 1950s, when anti-Communism made a home for the homeless radicals whom revolutionism had cast adrift. It is a history known, celebrated, and occasionally brandished as a club by its survivors.
