Abstract
Contemporaries of the Algonquin Round Table accused the members of “logrolling”-exchanging plugs of one another’s work through the numerous publications in which they took part as writers, critics, and editors. This group of friends and literary geniuses in New York City met daily for lunch between the years of 1919-1929 and had access to the foremost publications of the time through which their witticisms were disseminated-cornering the communications circuit from all sides. An analysis into the success of the group in the cultural field is supported by the theories of Robert Darnton, Pierre Bourdieau and Bridget Fowler’s investigations of Bourdieau’s theories.
