Abstract

The article discusses the challenge for literary scholars to document truth depicting the lives and dramatic art of the twentieth-century U.S. writers captivated by Communism through which difficulty in reaching the standard, inconsistent studies of the most politically committed U.S. literary radicals of the past century were manifested. It features some literary scholars and popular editions including Agnes Smedley, Stephen R. MacKinnon, and Janice R. MacKinnon. Other literary transitions and attributes to novelists are also presented.
