简介
This volume brings together a representative selection of the best critical essays on the work of 20 eminent American fiction writers whose principal volumes were published between the two wars. Beginning with Bloom's overview of the best writers of the period--Cather, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Hemingway, and West--the essays examine how writers of the period influenced one other, and what effect they had on American prose fiction, both as individuals and as a group. They also reveal the complexities of the period, including its determinism, new literary styles, and the Afro-American literary tradition. Other writers analyzed include Edith Wharton, Sinclair Lewis, Gertrude Stein, Theodore Dreiser, Sherwood Anderson, Katherine Anne Porter, John Steinbeck, Eudora Welty, and Zora Neale Hurston.
