The article informs that the analysis of intellectual folkways has probably not received as much attention in American sociology as it has elsewhere, despite significant treatment accorded to this field, both explicit and implicit, in the work done by certain American scholars.'

In this paper, the attempt was made to determine the nature and direction of certain intellectual changes during a particularly crucial period of our history, the period between the years 1920 and 1940, as measured by the selectivity exercised by the reading public in the form of quantities and types of new books published by American publishers during the years specified. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1948 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
