Brann the Iconoclast V4 is a book written by William Cowper Brann. It is the fourth volume in a series that chronicles the life and opinions of Brann, a controversial journalist and writer who gained notoriety for his scathing critiques of American society and politics in the late 19th century. In this volume, readers will find a collection of Brann's essays and articles, which cover a wide range of topics including religion, politics, and social issues. Brann's writing is characterized by his sharp wit and biting sarcasm, and he spares no one in his criticism, from politicians and religious leaders to ordinary citizens. Despite his controversial views, Brann was widely read and respected during his time, and his work continues to be studied and debated by scholars and historians today.
