The Village: 400 Years of Beats and Bohemians, Radicals and Rogues, a History of Greenwich Village - Softcover
Cultural commentator John Strausbaugh's The Village is the first complete history of Greenwich Village, the prodigiously influential and infamous New York City neighborhood.
From the Dutch settlers and Washington Square patricians, to the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and Prohibition-era speakeasies; from Abstract Expressionism and beatniks, to Stonewall and AIDS, the connecting narratives of The Village tell the story of America itself.
Illustrated with historic black-and-white photographs, The Village features lively, well-researched profiles of many of the people who made Greenwich Village famous, including Thomas Paine, Walt Whitman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mark Twain, Margaret Sanger, Eugene O’Neill, Marcel Duchamp, Upton Sinclair, Willa Cather, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Jackson Pollock, Anais Nin, Edward Albee, Charlie Parker, W. H. Auden, Woody Guthrie, James Baldwin, Maurice Sendak, E. E. Cummings, and Bob Dylan.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this lively anecdotal history of the most famous neighborhood in the world, John Strausbaugh traces the Villages role as a culture engine, a bastion of tolerance, freedom, creativity, and activism that has spurred cultural change for more than 400 years. He brings to life the long line of famous nonconformists who have collided there, developing the ideas and creating the art that forever altered societal norms. Poe, Whitman, Cather, Baldwin, Kerouac, Mailer, Ginsberg, ONeill, Pollock, La Guardia, Koch, Hendrix, and Dylan all come together across the ages, at a cultural crossroads the likes of which we may never see again.From Dutch farmers and Washington Square patricians to slaves and bohemians, from Prohibition-era speakeasies to Stonewall, from Abstract Expressionism to AIDS, and from the Triangle Shirtwaist fire to todays upscale condos and four-star restaurants, the connecting narratives of The Village tell the fresh and unforgettable story of America itself. Cultural commentator John Strausbaugh's The Village is the first complete history of Greenwich Village, the prodigiously influential and infamous New York City neighborhood. From the Dutch settlers and Washington Square patricians, to the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and Prohibition-era speakeasies; Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
