Critical Review by Louis Kronenberger
1,282 words, approx. 4 pages
Kronenberger was an American essayist, biographer, novelist, and educator. In the following favorable review of Show Boat, a portion of which was excerpted in Contemporary Literary Criticism, Vol. 18, he describes the novel as "little else but an irresistible story," largely due to its self-consciously romantic and nostalgic tone at a time when most "serious" literature strove for realism.
