The Encyclopedia Of Twentieth-Century Fiction 3Vst

Authoritative, thoughtfully prepared, convenient--this three-volume reference will serve students, teachers, professors, general readers, anyone seeking concise yet detailed treatment of authors, and anyone seeking context or a starting place for literary research. Approximately 500 entries pertaining to 20th-century English-language writing are presented in three volumes, each with its own A-Z arrangement, and each with an introductory essay. The first volume is on British and Irish fiction; the second, on American fiction; and the third, world fiction. Writers are located in one or the other volumes according to their national origin rather than where they might have ended up living. Biographical entries discuss the author's life, literary milieu, influences, key works, and reception; and they include a bibliography of primary texts, critical works, and film and video adaptations of their works, as well as cross references. Thematic entries include colonial, expatriate, migration and diaspora, and working class fiction, among other categories, as well as topics such as censorship, globalization, the World Wars, and alternative sexualities--to name just a few.
