Over eighty years after it happened, the Depression still lives on in iconic images of country poor whites - in the novels of John Steinbeck, the photographs of Dorothea Lange and Arthur Rothstein, the documentary films of Pare Lorenz and the thousands of share-croppers' life histories as taken down by the workers of the Federal Writers' Project. < 410 0$aRoutledge transnational perspectives on American literature ;$v17. 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRural poor in literature 606 $aDepressions in literature 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNew Deal, 1933-1939, in motion pictures 606 $aNature in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRural poor in literature. 615 0$aDepressions in literature. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aNew Deal, 1933-1939, in motion pictures. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a810.9/0052 700 $aFender$b Stephen.$0193317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800098103321 996 $aNature, class, and New Deal literature$93876711 997 $aUNINA
