Modern American Literature Catherine Morley An incisive study of modern American literature, casting new light on its origins and themes. Exploring canonical American writers such as Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner alongside less familiar writers like Djuna Barnes and Susan Glaspell, this guide takes readers though a diverse literary landscape.

Taking in African American modernism, cultural and geographical exile, as well as developments in modern American drama, it introduces readers to current critical trends in modernist studies.
