Description
Praise for the earlier edition:
“Students of modern American literature have for some years turned to Fifteen Modern American Authors (1969) as an indispensable guide to significant scholarship and criticism about twentieth-century American writers. In its new form—Sixteenth Modern American Authors—it will continue to be indispensable. If it is not a desk-book for all Americanists, it is a book to be kept in the forefront of the bibliographical compartment of their brains.”—American Studies
“An indispensable research took (has) maintained and even increased its indispensability. No reference department of any college library should be without this latest revision.”—Choice
