(1901-1982)
| 1933 | The Great Tradition. Hicks's first volume of literary criticism is a Marxist interpretation of American literature since the Civil War. It is regarded as one of the first systematic analyses of the literary history of the period and establishes Hicks's reputation as a major critic. Hicks served on the editorial board of New Masses and would resign from the Communist Party in 1939, becoming a vocal opponent of Soviet policies thereafter. |
| 1938 | I Like America. In an autobiographical account, Hicks offers his defense as a Communist critic and what America stands to lose unless it chooses socialism. Hicks would resign from the Communist Party in 1939 in opposition to the German-Soviet nonaggression pact and the American Communist Party's defense of Stalinism. |
| 1954 | When We Came Out. The critic discusses his involvement with the Communist Party and his gradual disillusionment with it. |
