American Literature in Transition, 1930-1940 situates the major themes and aspects of the Depression era's key literary activities in the long arc of literary history. This is an excellent resource for undergraduate, graduate students, and scholars interested in American literary culture of the 1930s.

The book is for scholars and students of contemporary American literature who want to think beyond the narrower scope of the single-author or single-theoretical-perspective study to get a richer sense of a key decade's literary activity.

This is an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate students interested in American literary culture of the 1920s. Preeminent scholars of the field analyze over twenty aspects of the era's key literary activities. The book's unusually capacious framework encompasses not only canonical authors but also a great number of neglected writers.

This book provides the latest scholarship on the 1960s as seen through the eyes of writers as various as Toni Morrison, Gary Snyder, Michael Herr, Amiri Baraka, Joan Didion, Louis Chu, John Rechy, and Gwendolyn Brooks. It will be a key resource for students and scholars of twentieth-century American literature interested in this time period.
