  • Description

    This new edition of “Notable American Novelists” presents biographical sketches and analytical overviews of 145 of the best-known American and Canadian writers of long fiction from the 19th and 20th centuries, arranged alphabetically by name. “Other literary forms” then briefly describes genres other than long fiction in which the writer has worked, and an “Achievements” section encapsulates the author’s central contribution and notes major honors and awards. Following “Analysis” is a categorized list, “Other major works,” that provides titles and dates of works the author has written in genres other than long fiction, including plays, poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction.
