Many of the prefaces written by American writers in the twentieth century catalogue the shifting landscape of a more self-consciously professionalized trade, one fraught with tension and compromise, and influenced by evolving reading publics. With analyses of Willa Cather, Ring Lardner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Penn Warren, and Toni Morrison, Ross K. Tangedal argues that writers used prefaces as a means of expanding and complicating authority over their work and, ultimately, as a way to write about their careers. Tangedal?s approach offers a new way of examining American writers in the evolving literary marketplace of the twentieth century. 410 0$aNew Directions in Book History,$x2634-6125 606 $aBooks$xHistory 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aPrinting 606 $aPublishers and publishing 606 $aEconomics and literature 606 $aCelebrities 606 $aAudiences 606 $aHistory of the Book 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aPrinting and Publishing 606 $aLiterature Business 606 $aCelebrity Studies 606 $aFan and Audience Studies 615 0$aBooks$xHistory. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aPrinting. 615 0$aPublishers and publishing. 615 0$aEconomics and literature. 615 0$aCelebrities. 615 0$aAudiences. 615 14$aHistory of the Book. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aPrinting and Publishing. 615 24$aLiterature Business. 615 24$aCelebrity Studies. 615 24$aFan and Audience Studies. 676 $a810.9005 676 $a810.9 700 $aTangedal$b Ross K.$f1986-$01257925 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508481403321 996 $aThe preface$92914981 997 $aUNINA
