I may have asked this last year when I first joined the net (but I don't think I
 did).
I am looking for secondary articles for a project I'm working on
on 30s American humanists and their attitudes toward film (and popular culture
 more generally).  The sort of person I am thinking about is Mark Van Doren who
 writes
a book on liberal education in defense of Great Books learning and yet also
writes a regular column on movies for "The Nation."
I am particularly interested in studies on the role of mass culture and film
for the following:  Edmund Wilson, Van Doren, Gilberte Seldes, Lewis
Mumford, I A Richards (anybody know anything about his aprenticeship at Disney
 in
the early 40s?), and especially Mortimer Adler whose "Art and Prudence," a 700
 page
aesthetics of film, is central to my project.
I probably have found the standard things on these writers, but I would
 appreciate any bibliograph8ic suggestions of any sort.
Thanks !!!!!
