Historical Guides to American Authors:
The new Historical Guides series is an interdisciplinary,
historically sensitive series that combines close attention to the
United States' most widely read and studied authors with a strong
sense of time, place, and history. Placing each writer in the
context of the vibrant relationship between literature and society,
volumes in the series contain historical essays written on subjects
of contemporary social, political, and cultural relevance. They
also includes a capsule biography
and dual chronology detailing important cultural events as they
coincided with the author's life and works, while photographs and
illustrations of the period capture the flavor of the author's time
and milieu.
Accessible to all readers of American fiction, while providing
insights useful to teachers and scholars, the volumes offer a
complete and rounded picture of each author in his or her
America.
"A welcome addition to many readers' bookshelves....[with a] wealth
of information making the guide potentially useful to scholars at
practically any level."--Modernism/modernity
