Jumonville, Neil. "The Gray Dawn: The New York Intellectuals and the Function of Criticism," Harvard University, March 1987.
I wrote on that group called the New York intellectuals—those literary and cultural critics connected with Partisan Review, Commentary, Dissent, and New York Review of Books, and other important mid-twentieth-century intellectual publications. One argument is that their neoconservativism reaches back to the 1930s in their highbrow socialism and cultural elitism. A second is that their search for a new role for intellectualism in the post-ideological world led them to a strong rationalism and anti-absolutism—which connected their antagonisms to such adversaries as the Communists, the Beats, the New Left, and supporters of mass culture.
