Originally published in 1931, \u003cem\u003eOnly Yesterday\u003c\/em\u003e has an exuberance and proximity to its subject--the Roaring Twenties in all its scandal and glory--that uniquely captures the feel of the era.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnly Yesterday \u003c\/em\u003edeals with that delightful decade from the Armistice in November 1918 to the panic and depression of 1929-30. Here is the story of Woodrow Wilson's defeat, the Harding scandals, the Coolidge prosperity, the revolution in manners and morals, the bull market and its smash-up. Allen's lively narrative brings back an endless variety of half-forgotten events, fashions, crazes, and absurdities. Deftly written, with a humorous touch, \u003cem\u003eOnly Yesterday\u003c\/em\u003e traces, beneath the excitements of day-to-day life in the 20s, those currents in national life and thought which are the essence of true history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"HarperPerennial","offers":[{"title":"Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s | Frederick L Allen | Paperback | 9780060956653 | Used: Good | Back Stacks E 1785062","offer_id":67624481095832,"sku":"1785062","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81tF-KMbszL.jpg?v=1790982259","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/only-yesterday-an-informal-history-of-the-1920s","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
