"Intellectual Vagabondage" is a provocative and insightful exploration of the modern intellectual landscape by Floyd Dell, a prominent figure in the American literary scene of the early twentieth century. Described by the author as an "apology for a new generation," the work traces the evolution of human thought and literature from the age of rationalism to the complexities of the post-World War I era. Dell examines how the shifting cultural and social tides have shaped the minds of contemporary thinkers, often leaving them in a state of intellectual wandering or "vagabondage."
Through a blend of literary criticism and historical analysis, the book assesses the influences of great writers and philosophers on the collective consciousness. It delves into the tensions between tradition and modernity, seeking to understand why the youth of his time felt disconnected from the certainties of the past. "Intellectual Vagabondage" serves as both a defense and a critique of the modern spirit, offering a unique perspective on the disillusionment and creative ferment that defined the 1920s. This work remains a vital resource for readers interested in the intellectual history of the United States and the development of modernist thought.
