Essays on Ayn Rand's We the Living
This is a truly engaging collection of essays that provide valuable philosophic and literary insight—as well as fascinating details about the publishing history and the music—of Ayn Rand's first full novel,We the Living. (Dr. Gary Hull, Director of the Program on Values and Ethics in the Marketplace at Duke University)A study of this kind is long overdue. Robert Mayhew has demonstrated an impressive vision in assembling a collection of this kind. One learns fascinating details about Ayn Rand’s life, her extraordinary care with her craft, and the critical reception of her first novel. Mayhew also sheds important light on her philosophy as it developed in the 1930s and beyond. (Darryl Wright, Harvey Mudd College)
