As an outgrowth of the influence of psychoanalytic psychology on the methodology of literary biography, the interplay between one's internal psychological world and the influence of historical forces has become a mainstay of scholarly inquiry. This biographical examination of the relatively forgotten American writer, diplomat, Zionist and social justice activist, Henry G. Alsberg (1881- 1970) offers inspiring insight into the psychological atmosphere of the Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal Federal Writers' Project. From the perspective of psychoanalytic developmental theory, it strikingly illustrates Erikson's view that mature identity consolidation requires self-reflection and integrating a commitment to personal values with an exploration of the impact of sociocultural conditions.
