  • A Reader's Guide To Twentieth-century Writers
  • Attribution

    editor, Peter Parker ; consultant editor, Frank Kermode
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1996
  • Description

    With biographical entries for over 1,000 novelists, short-story writers, poets, and playwrights from the United States and Canada, Britain and Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, India, Africa, and the Caribbean, the Guide is an essential and entertaining handbook of the lives and work of the century’s English-language writers. We learn that one writer’s work (Richard Kostelanetz’s) includes a story with only single-word paragraphs and a “novel” of 1,000 blank pages, and that Louise Erdrich worked as a sugar-beet hoer, Edward Albee worked as a messenger for Western Union, and Richard Ford worked briefly for the CIA. A Reader’s Guide to Twentieth-Century Writers is an invaluable and highly readable reference book, which celebrates the lives and works of the best writers of our age.

The Oxford Companion To Twentieth-century Literature In English

  • The Oxford Companion To Twentieth-century Literature In  English
  • Attribution

    edited by Jenny Stringer ; with an introduction by John Sutherland
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1996
  • Description

    Oxford Companions are known for their authority, comprehensiveness, and browsability–”the best reference books in the language,” according to Harper’s. But the literary canon isn’t static, and modern literature in all of its richness demands a more comprehensive Companion to cover the wealth of contemporary writing crafted in our language: The Oxford Companion to Twentieth-Century Literature in English. A lively introduction by John Sutherland highlights the various and sometimes contradictory canons that have emerged over the century, and the increasingly international sources of writing in English which the Companion records.
