Fritz, Joanne. "A Popular Poet Meets the Twentieth Century: Edgar A. Guest and Middle-Class Morality," Saint Louis University, May 1990.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Edgar A. Guest was an American household name. Known through his syndicated newspaper column, books, and articles and heard over the radio and from the lecture platform, Guest was as ubiquitous as Quaker Oats and the Ford automobile, Relying on the Guest papers held by the Burton Historical Collection in the Detroit Public Library and on Guest’s books and articles, this study places Guest within the tradition of American popular poetry; examines his life and career as an example of a maker of popular culture; analyzes his poetry within its cultural context; and examines the critical resistance to his work as part of the debunking of American culture so characteristic of modern American literature and criticism.
