Ring Lardner was one of the most popular figures of the early twentieth century - newspaper columnist, sports writer, short story writer and personality - yet he has received little attention from scholars. Douglas Robinson's new book examines the writings of a critically neglected American writer; it also uses Lardner as the basis for a theoretical inquiry into language and literature, and a study of men and masculinity at the turn of the century.
