Description

This study examines the part played by lyricists in the Golden Age of American popular music (1920-1940), comparing their witty light verse with the comic prose of "Vanity Fair" and other American periodicals of the era. In addition to the famous, such as Oscar Hammerstein and Ira Gershwin, the author describes lesser-known lyricists working in New York's Tin Pan Alley, in Hollywood, and in other musical genres such as jazz.
