First published between 1982 and 1983, this series examines the peculiarly American cultural context out of which the nation's literature has developed. Covering the years from 1900 to 1930, this fourth volume of American Literature in Context focuses on how American literature dealt with the challenges of the period including the First World War and the stock market crash. It examines key writers of the time such as Henry James, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, F Scott Fitzgerald and Eugene O'Neill who, unlike many Americans who sought escape, confronted reality, providing a rich and varied literature that reflects these turbulent years.
This book will be of interest to those studying American literature and American studies.
