Jessica Pressman; Index. 330 $aEach generation revises literary history and this is nowhere more evident than in the post-Second World War period. This 2011 Companion offers a comprehensive, authoritative and accessible overview of the diversity of American fiction since the Second World War. Essays by nineteen distinguished scholars provide critical insights into the significant genres, historical contexts, cultural diversity and major authors during a period of enormous American global political and cultural power. This power is overshadowed, nevertheless, by national anxieties growing out of events ranging from the Civil Rights Movement to the rise of feminism; from the Cold War and its fear of Communism and nuclear warfare to the Age of Terror and its different yet related fears of the 'Other'. American fiction since 1945 has faithfully chronicled these anxieties. An essential reference guide, this Companion provides a chronology of the period, as well as guides to further reading. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813/.5409 686 $aLIT004020$2bisacsh 686 $aHU 1800$2rvk 702 $aDuvall$b John N$g(John Noel),$f1956- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205888303316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to American fiction after 1945$92493452 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
