American civilization starts its downward spiral.

I'm away from the bulk of my library right now, but didn't the _Master
Plots of Literature_ series see publication earlier? Can't even find the
series listed on Amazon, but I think they date from the late '40s.

Of course they are unwieldy hardbacks, and may still have offered some
cultural boost in plying those operose and dusty volumes.
