Fülszöveg


American writing in the first half of the twentieth century is here given a comprehensive historical and critical treatment covering the major literary genres of the period—poetry, fiction, drama, and criticism. Arranged topically and chronologically, each chapter includes a discussion of a typical writer. Among the writers whose works are discussed in detail are Edith Wharton, Robinson, Frost, Willa Cather, O'Neill, Dos Passos, Hemingway, Wallace Stevens, Faulkner, and T. S. Eliot.
Perhaps the first book to deal exclusively with our most recent literary past, American Writing in the Twentieth Century presents such significant considerations as the persistence of naturalism in the novel, the new drama of the twenties and thirties, the development of the "Southern Renaissance," and the influence of characteristic attitudes among American critics.

Perhaps the first book to deal exclusively with our most recent literary past, American Writing in the Twentieth Century presents such significant considerations as the persistence of naturalism in the novel, the new drama of the twenties and thirties, the development of the "Southern Renaissance," and the influence of characteristic attitudes among American critics.
In his preface, Professor Thorp points out that "This is a favorable moment for telling the story of America's accomplishment in literature in this century. Beginning about 1912 and continuing through the second World War a new generation of writers brought about an extraordinary renaissance in fiction, poetry, the drama and criticism. Only once before, in the 1840's and 1850's, had there been in America a literary achievement of this magnitude . . . Time may prove this second renaissance even more impressive than the first."
Willard Thorp is Holmes Professor of Belles Lettres and Chairman of the Department of English at Princeton University.
