Fourteen essayists deal with the experience of being a writer in a time of overwhelming economic depression and political ferment, and thereby illuminate the social, political, intellectual, and aesthetic problems and pressures that characterized the experience of American writers and influenced their works. The essays, as a group, constitute a reevaluation of the American literature of the 1930's. At the same time they support and reinforce certain assumptions about the decadeAmerican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismCongressesAuthors, American20th centuryPolitical and social viewsCongressesDepressions1929United StatesCongressesLiterature and societyUnited StatesCongressesAmerican literatureHistory and criticismAuthors, AmericanPolitical and social viewsDepressionsLiterature and society810/.9/0052Bogardus Ralph F.1938-1577532Hobson Fred C.1943-1572792Alabama Symposium on English and American LiteratureMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778373903321Literature at the barricades3856177UNINA
