A historian with the Ohio Historical Society, Stuart D. Hobbs received his Ph.D. in American History from Ohio State University.

"A significant work for intellectual and cultural historians, this is a tight, . . . focused examination of an important aspect of recent American culture." (Choice) "Hobbs provides ample grounds for readers to ponder the interplay between particular movements in the arts and a larger American culture in the late 1950s and early 1960s."
