Love in the Promised Land

This volume is a dual biography Poland-born, American novelist Anzia Yezierska (1885-1970) and American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer John Dewey (1859-1952). It presents an account of the secret love affair between a young immigrant writer and a New England intellectual who fell deeply but briefly in love and who were both irrevocably changed by their short-lived merging of old and new world ways.
