The World through a Monocle : The New Yorker at Midcentury

Editorial Reviews
Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post, April 14, 1999
An excellent and innovative study of the New Yorker during its halcyon years, the late 1940s and the 1950s. Though Corey writes from an academic vantage point and looks at it in the light of subjects (race, sex, class) fashionable among her colleagues, she grinds none of academia's axes; she is scrupulous, thoughtful and fair.

Jeremy Caplan, Boston Book Review, Spring 1999
[Corey] has written a comprehensive, captivating study of recent American cultural and social history as reflected by one of our literary icons. In her thorough, fascinating study of The New Yorker in the decade following WWII, Corey explains the relationship between the magazine and its readers...The World Through a Monocle offers a rich view of how social forces and editorial purposes evoke and sustain each other.
