Herrick was lumped in with the muckrakers, but managed to avoid their high-pitched moral tone, conveying instead a subtle, balanced view that managed, still, to underscore the injustices of his era. Herrick's association with New Republic critic LIttell began when they attended Harvard, both graduating 1890. Books is now housed in a clear, removable archival sleeve.
